=== Belt repairs ===
The belt-driven floppy drive will stop working once its rubber belt has perished. There are multiple replacement sources:
* Sinclair Spectrum +3, ZX and Amstrad CPC/PCW 3" drives have a belt which is also appropriate and easier to source
* Tototek sells [http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_35&products_id=106 a $6 replacement].

Belt replacement may require recalibration of the drive afterward depending on how bad it has gotten.
