I have no light perception.  Somewhere I had a program that kept 
pringing the speed to the screen and textalker would read it.

Many disks when open will have a black and white striped sticker 
you can use to calibrate speed using a fluorescent light.  I used 
to use that.  Guessing one could print a sticker and slap it on 
yourself if desired.


Hmm, maybe someone needs to make calibration stickers…

  Did you check the driver speed? You might need to recalibrate 
the driver.

  I drug out a couple 2 e computers.  One had a bad 4164 ram chip
  which I ordered from jameco and is fixed.  I'm haveing problems
  with some of my drives.  One makes a lot of noise as they 
usually
  do when starting, but then says i o error.  I've cleaned the
  head, but not certain what else to check.  It has been a long
  time since I was inside of one of these things.  One video I 
saw
  on line mentioned an aspect disk which I've never heard of. 
Does
  anyone have a good talking speed check?  I've got a utilities
  disk with some diagnosis stuff on it, not sure what to do with
  some of it.  Anyhow, write off list if you want.

  This list is for those who were users of the old apple 2e back 
in
  the 80's.
