[Coco] drive issues

[Bob Devries]

Actually, it is my experience that there is oxide residue on the drive 
heads. I also have a dual TEAC drive set and frequently when trying to 
read old almost worn out disks, the oxide comes off the disk and 
accumulates on the drive heads.
Isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip will remove the residue.
