this might indicate that either the floppy cable is loose or the unit is far
out of alignment. Reseat the cables or replace the drive - they are cheap.
(though some manufacturers like Compaq have an annoying habit of shifting
the eject button so that standard drives won't fit. In these cases, a small
file can be used with benefit).
