I thought about this after i had sent the post but didn't bother as the main message was clear .. the one with the builtin floppydrive. > Always keep your 1571's heads down (door closed) when in storage! If you don't > you'll end up with an unusable drive when the top head's mounting breaks. That why it came with a protective piece of cardboard to insert when transporting it. I always used either that or a floppy i didn't care if I ruined. Anyways it does matter now .. I sold it some years ago (but still had it for many years aaftyer they stopped making it). Got an extremly good price too. Money i used on buying an accelerator for my Amiga (which I still have .. and think about selling since my amiga needs can now be filled by an emulator and if i'm going to use one again it will have to be new hardware .. and new amiga's are very much speculative dreaming.)
