TP 365X/XD - Diskette drive read failure
Applicable to: World-Wide
SYMPTOM:
The 2625 internal or external diskette drive could experience read errors if it is in close proximity to the AC Adapter.
CONFIGURATION:
ThinkPad 365XD with floppy drive attached externally.
SOLUTION:
The read error is the result of the AC Adapter's expanding and collapsing magnetic field. This is a normal result of transforming AC voltages. The field is not large and it dissipates quickly as you move away from the AC Adapter. Because there is no practical method of shielding magnetism the only alternative is to keep the diskette drive away from magnetic devices.
