It writes and reads without errors, but the read-back data does not always match what was written. It seems to happen when moving large files onto/off of floppy. It happens to several floppies, and using both tar and mcopy. Pretty strange, that no errors are reported, huh? Floppy drive, cable, controller, software? -mark
