Check the cabling -- maybe the school disconnected them to stop the kids loading stuff on them. Or maybe they're just full of dust, get something to blow them out (not in!). Finally, a floppy-cleaning kit -- a teflon disk with some cleaning fluid -- might work. >2. What other Macs use the same floppy drives? Did the 5xx0 series >of AIOs use the same? I think that all Mac 1.44 drives are compatible. >3. Could it be a software (system) problem? Do you have a bootable CD? If so, then try that, see if they work when booted from CD. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
