Kev;

  First thing I did after getting the MM/1 was to purchase another 3.5" drive -
almost an identical twin to /d0 - for moving files around. I HATE swapping
floppies!!!  I backed up all the distribution disks to brand new 2.0 M disks
and was using them until the MM/1 blew up - well, more like a loud POP,
actually.
  Now, I can only read one out of the 8 or so disks that I have data on. It's
beginning to look like the stepper in the drive took a dump, as it doesn't want
to read much past sector 0.  I will play around with it some more and get back
with detailed errata.  What's got me worried is that 'format' won't work on
this drive - it gets almost done and then errors out with a '246' (I think)
seek error.

  re: nylon spacers
  Yep, the kit has some in there, but using them with the aluminum standoffs
puts the board about 1/16" too high for the rear connectors - and also there's
nothing in the installation docs about using them. Lesson learned the hard way!
