Are the adjustments you are doing because they are old drives, or did they need adjustments even when new?Normally they wouldn't need adjustment for several years. This drive is 30+ years old and it has a clone (Mitac) board in it. Your Commodore drive also had it's own onboard power supply. These old Apple drives get their power from the computer and sometimes that isn't spot on and so can effect the drives speed.
