HeadCleaner V37.2 Copyright Richard Waspe 1994 HeadCleaner is for cleaning your floppy disk drive heads :-) It works by stepping the heads in across the cleaning surface of the head cleaning disk, thus continually exposing the heads to fresh uncontaminated cleaner, whilst greatly increasing the life of your cleaning disk, by not continually using the same track. HeadCleaner can be run from the CLI or WB, but requires at least V37, 2.04+ of the Operating system. The Gadget driven interface is fairly intuitive. No harm should come to any disks left in the drives, and they will be re-read after HeadCleaner has run, but if your data is precious, then remove them to be sure. When HeadCleaners window opens, apply a small amount of cleaning fluid to your head cleaning disk and insert into the drive to be cleaned. Click on the Gadget for that drive. There are four Gadgets, one each for DF0: DF1: DF2: and DF3: . The Gadgets will only be active for those drives found to exist in your system. The others will be 'ghosted' out. The drive light will come on, and as the cleaning disk spins, the heads will step across it's surface for about 20 seconds. During this time all Gadgets will be inactive, and progress of the cleaning is shown by a bar in the lower part of the window. When the cleaning is finished, the screen will flash, and the gadgets will again be active. At this time you may continue to clean other drives in the same manner. When you have finished, remove the cleaning disk and click on the close gadget in the top left of the window. The user interface was designed with GadToolsBox By Jan v.d.
