Semi-conscious among lots of reasons ...
I just took the floppy out - except for that Go&^%&^%ned F6 thing, I have zero reason to have it suck power. My working opinion is that: 1) Need a floppy? Hang it out the side 2) ALL my floppy drives work. Let's hope VISTA is a good idea before I need a floppy again !!!
I cannot try a different tray. I've probably got some drive braces I might try, but see reason #1.
Got to go deal with Nero 7 and it's 128MB 'update'.
Bruce, seriously, Thanks.
