| 114434 | 2003-01-17 02:45:00 | I could not agree more with Miami steve, but even more thorough is to, once a year at least, pull the keyboard right apart. There is usually around 12 small screws on the bottom of the keyboard, ( don't loose any as they are all necessary), and when putting it back together, don't overtighten the screws as they screw into plastic not metal. You will be amazed at the amount of garbage you will find. We have 20 keyboards and the most common fault is that the spacebar fails, no idea why that particular key, except it is the largest in area. But care is needed, take it slowly and note what fits where when the two halves separate and of course - you do it at your own risk :-) |

Perhaps you're thinking of something a bit smaller (and more modern) ... RD 31 were 10 MB in a "full height 5¼" (think 2 CD drives stacked). RD70 have about 130 MB, I think, in the same size. These were Micropolis MFM drives. |
