I have a pair of 1581 drives.  Each can format disks and read their
own files, but only one can read floppies made on other drives.
Someday, I'll get around to aligning the heads on the one (or
replacing the floppy mech).

Finding a 1581 power supply or two would probably make that project go faster.
