Yeah, that was me that gave that presentation. I don't think it got
videotaped. Also, the floppy drive repair was only a part of it, I was
going over a lot of different Mac related repairs.

The repair for both the 800K and 1.4mb auto inject drives is pretty
much the same, you have to remove the upper disk carriage and clean
the points at which the pieces slide - the old grease will have
solidified and glued it all together. I've not put anything together
on the subject - there might be something out there, but I'm not sure.
If anyone is interested, I can do a session at the next workshop or
something.
