Chalk one up to philanthropy.  I've been noticing a number of messages
regarding problems of one sort or another with FDHD's in the SE/30, IIcx,
and IIx series.  Since I've noticed a bit of 'flakey' behavior in my
own, I've decided to take up the crusade.  So, if you've had any problems
with your FDHD, (other than using the wrong type of disks), please send
me mail (dweeb@norby.acns.nwu.edu) giving a short description of the
problem encountered, the model of Mac you have, and brand of floppies.
I will keep track for a week or so, and summarize to the net, if response
indicates a serious problem.  (i.e., more than 2 or 3 people describe very
similar symptoms)  Be sure to include 'FDHD' in the subject of
you mail.  Thank you for you cooperation.

p.s.  I hope I'm just imagining things. ;-)
