It might be a good idea to try to make extra copies of the Mac diskettes in a later model of working twin floppy (or internal + external combination) Mac with two good diskette drives, before you do anything else with those diskettes.

Also, you might try using something like a pencil in the cavity in the metal hub of the media to manually rotate the diskette media until they stop squeaking and turn freely (if they don't turn freely now).

GREAT idea.  I am going to go do that right now.  I am trying to find a way to find a replacement, working internal 400k drive for this guy.  The external drives work, but I can only plug one of them in at a time at all!  I guess I will go use my Mac Plus to make these disks.  If I do this on a Mac Plus, will I be able to format the disks to be 400k so they can work with the original mac?
