I've got them home, sat down at two puters (one with a new floppy drive), put
a *new* floppy in each, written a file to each with write-verify, no errors
reported, and (without touching either disc) *immeadiately* couldn't read it
back off either one. I've been able to use one floppy if i install a new drive,
and then it's caput for that drive and that floppy. All the Zip drives are fine,
and useable for years so far.
So far, this box has been up 23 days running win95B. Not idle, either,
programming in mirc and Eu, power browsing, emailing, data mining, irc'ing
24-7, etc.. But the floppy still doesn't work.
