Speaking of hard drive problems under GS/OS:

	I have been using a Profile hard drive (5 meg)
(anyone remember those old crates??) under Prodos-16 v3.0
for quite a while with absolutely no problems.

	Then I installed System Disk 5.0.2.

	Right away I started having problems.  I would get
I/O errors when 1) copying large numbers of files onto the drive,
		2) locking/unlocking files,
		3) enabling/disabling system folder files,
		4) renaming files,
	    and 5) moving files from one folder to another
when using the Finder program.  I lost many files due to these
problems, so I backed up what was left and reformatted the drive.

	As I put everything back on the drive, the problems
continued.  On several occasions, file copies would not report
any errors, but the copies on the hard disk would not work.
Other times, the annoying I/O errors would strike in mid-copy.

	Now, I have most of the stuff back.  I/O errors on
lock/unlock, enable/disable, and renames seem to have vanished,
but they continue to occur whenever large numbers of files are
being copied at once and (I suspect, although I haven't tried it
for fear of losing more files) when moving files from one folder
to another.  What's more:  ProSel 16 also gives the I/O errors 
during file copies.

	Does anyone know what could be the problem?  I do not
have a driver specifically for the drive (it is referred to as
.DEV1 when I boot it up).  Do I need a driver for it?

	Also: where can I get a driver for a Scribe printer?


	Thanks for your patience.  Please leave a response here
in the notesfile (I'm new to this thing and don't really know
my email address yet!)
