Hey there Jeff; FWIW, I find that SOME of the old machines don't always seem to access the disks very well. In addition, the old disks are getting slowly less readable as the years go by. If you experience failures, you might try to clean the head where it reads the disks. That has allowed me to read disks that seemed 'unreadable' before. I never got the disk head cleaning disks to work well, but I did get a clean fingernail to remove stubborn buildup from a head very nicely this past summer. Yah, I know this might seem like I'm brewing trouble where there is none, but I'd call it anticipating potential difficulties so I have a back up plan ahead of time. :) Lotsa luck.
