Two Problems:

Problem 1: Diskettes from my 1541 cannot
be read by my friend's machines.  

        I have used the alignment-
checking routine that someone kindly 
posted.  My drive heads seem aligned 
by that routine.  I also checked the 
drive speed.  Here was an interesting 
result.  My machine operates at 283rpm 
while my friend's machines operate 
between 300 and 315 rmp.  Is the speed 
the problem?

Problem 2:  If the rmp is the culprit, 
I know how to change the rpm from a 
previous posting, but how do I salvage 
the old diskettes?  

	Programs are easy with the tape 
drive.  But will the other assembler, 
sequential, and relative files be so 
easy?
