Yes, my experience has been that 1.44s are very unreliable.as 720s.

Regardless, Congratulations,  No journey is complete without considerations
of it's beginnings.  I finally got a CoCo 3 setup running again last month.
Next major project?  PC-Casing the 1 Meg CoCo 3 along with it's MPI and hard
drives, along with similar treatment for a CoCo 1 with MPI.  Both units will
share a Commodore RGB/Composite monitor.
