A while back I bought a second drive, Shugart mechanism, for my apple ][.
It works OK, except that the first time it is accessed after power-up,
it apparently seeks past track 0, making the nasty hammering sound.
The original Apple drive doesn't do this.  I am worried that the second
drive is having alignment problems because it occasionally stops being
able to read certain files.

Has anyone else had this problem and/or learned how to solve it?
Does the controller treat both drives equally?
