After I had to clean out three of these floppy drives, I started putting a piece of tape over the floppy slot. The HD's have survived, the drives stay clean, and I'm happy. I had a IIci and a IIsi worked on by Apple techs (still in warranty) and both of them got the plastic case over the floppy drive. Therefore the tape. A Turbo 601 might suffer, but if that happened, I'd open holes in the cast-in slots on the right front of the case. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
