'1541 alps out of alignment'

The 1541-II is a nice drive, but there are certain disks it cannot image (I'd have to go back and look at which, but I had a member a number of years ago that had trouble).

If there are certain patterns of weak/bad GCR, the read circuit will get "stuck" and return all random GCR until it the read mode is turned off and back on again.

Good news on the older drive, though. If it'll stay in alignment it'll be fine.
