Maybe poke around the machine's guts and make sure all the cables are seated well?
Done. Tight.
But more importantly: clean the drive, then try some NEW floppies... Old floppies may seem to work, but they DO degrade and end up leaving schmutz on the drive's heads.
This is a new drive. Could older floppies (maybe five of them - from two to five years old) leave schmutz on the drive's head after only a week or so? Best technique for cleaning?
I think I'm gonna break down and go to CDs, get a CD burner. This floppy problem stuff is getting old...
