[sebhc] Diskette Drives

Keep in mind that ANY drive, no matter how out of alignment, can read disks
that were formatted on that same drive.  The whole point of alignment is to
make disks interchangeable between drives.

Dwight,
I haven't tried to use the Tandons on an IBM PC. I might try that just 
to see if the drives are really good or bad.
I've only connected them to the H8.
