don't on that machine, but removing them is really good advice.

If you have the older single sided floppy, the felt pad is probably

missing. You can replace it with a felt pad from the hardware store;

they are used for no-scratch feet and are not hard to find. Be very

careful of the delicate little plastic parts in the drive. They will be very

brittle and break easily.

And I heartily agree-don't power up any more than you have to. If

your power supply is going to fry, that's when it will go. (If you

hold down the Apple key when you hit the power button and use

the environments window to restart, you can avoid some power

cycling.)

(BTW I will be completing the power supply repair guide as time

permits. It needs pictures and instructions for building a test jig.)

Be kind to Lisa; she's an old lady. :-)
