Well I sat trying to adjust the head on the original drive for a few hours, with variying degrees of success. The best I could do was open the window with no files or folders, and try to format the drive, which got maybe 1 percent done.

I'll see about modifying a low density drive here.

The PC drive I used would not even spin up.
I followed these insructions.

The stepping motor went but for some reason it would not spin. I double checked to make sure the +5 and +12 volt leads were correct also.
