I don't have a spare but I've had the same thing happen to me a time or
two. In both cases, I believe it was after I tried to lubricate the
mech on the side of the drive. It would continuously "eject" a
non-existent disk over and over. It seems like I somehow "dried" the
oil off of one and it b

Hello All,
You can format/copy 400K disks with a Quadra Superdrive if the system OS is
8.5 or less (System 8.6 and above dropped the 400K support). Also you can
use newer HD 1.44 disks, just put some tape over the hole opposite the write
protect tab, and format the disk as 400K or 800K. I have bee
I almost forgot to ask this obvious question as well... what is the going
price for the ProFile drives?
Thanks!

You'll need a Computer with a 800k 3.25" floppy to duplicate the disks , so

I had one of the first Lisa's with the twiggy drives and a 5 meg profile. I
found a buyer who offerd me x number of dollars for it. He paid for shipping
and after he received it he asked where the Lisa Office software was. I told

disk in, I took the drive out and found that the mechanism on the right
