The fact that it's a Mitscrewme worries me.  I've seen a lot of trouble 
with their floppy mechanisms.  1.2s were particularly troublesome.  
Often they could read what they wrote, but not what was written 
elsewhere.

Hmmm....  I suppose there's not much chance I'll get this here 8-inch 
floppy drive working on my FreeBSD system.  Ah, well, all my disks were 
written in DOS.H, anyway.
