Hi all,   
   for some projects, I need a spare 1541 drive other than my original and still   
   perfectly functional one.   
   I have a 1541-II lying around, and it worked the first time I tried it (that   
   was yesterday). Now it doesn't read any disk anymore.   
   I downloaded the fine commodore 1541 troubleshooting and repair guide and   
   it has procedures based on the "Dysan Analog Alignmnet diskette 224/2A".   
   Now I guess this one is next to impossible to get nowadays, right?   
   There're similar procedures not requiring this particular disk, but I   
   thougth asking does no harm :)   
   Is anyone still able to align and troubleshoot a real 1541 (and similar)   
   or everyone switched to SD cards and modern stuff?   
   Thanks   
   Frank
