    As some of you might recall I am having trouble with my HardFrame
 and an ST296N. It does not seem to want to automount the drive and
 its partitions.
    I talked to a fellow at MicroBotics this morning and he said that
 it sounds like 'the FSS bug'. Loosly what he said is this: The older
 version of FFS (the one that came with 1.3) will not automount partitions
 with null bytes in the header block (or something like that). He said
 that Commodore just admitted to the 'feature' about 6 weeks ago. He
 also mentioned that this has been fixed in the version of FFS that
 is with 1.3.1 of the system software. Therefore. could someone from
 Commodore (or anyone else for that matter) send me a uuencoded version
 of this newer FFS. I really need it to get my drive up and running.
