Flame? No. Just a clarification. If the FDHD fixes the problem in ROM,
then (b) should read "You always use FDHD *drives* and never 800K
drives." In other words, if you've got an SE/30 with an external 800K
drive, you might want it still around. But an 800K *disk* in an FDHD
should work fine.

This should be obvious, since FDHD means drive. Which makes "FDHD disk"
an oxymoron.

An anecdote: someone called the help line here yesterday, saying how
when she ejected the disk, the shutter stayed behind. So, anyone who
doesn't believe it happens, IT HAPPENS!

Why am I sure this isn't over yet?
