Could the drive be going out of alignment at times? I don't have any alignment disks to use.
The floppy drive is connected directly to my computer's power supply.
A standard length floppy cable is been used, with the 5.25" drive connected at the end.
I have tried cleaning with Q-Tips several times, but I can't get directly under the sensor, due to the design.
The strange part is PC 360K disks seem to work fine at times, or do Commodore 64 disks require more accurate track reading?
I wish it was easier to find 5.25" disk drives for sale, very few are offered by local eBay, and they aren't always tested.
