Also got my spare 1.2Mb drive working, must've just had dirty heads, no alignment needed! Although the heads touch, didn't hurt the disk but thought that was a bit weird - is that normal? I expected when fully depressed there would be a tiny gap, but I haven't really looked at floppy drives before, they're usually disposable.
Going to use the death of my 286XT as an excuse to buy a 5170 mainboard - either this week or next pay. Since they're about the same price as generic ones.
It doesn't seem to be able to work with the DRAM in bank 0 bit 0 (despite any chip changes I make). This will cost me a few $$, so if anyone has a 286 they're not terribly attached to let me know and I'll make an offer.
