 GT> I have some questions concerning I-Drive, sold until recently by
 GT> Suitable Solutions.  Yesterday, I formatted a disk on an IBM PC running
 GT> DOS 3.3, wrote some files on it using my Rainbow (running DOS 3.1b),
 GT> and then tried to read the files just written back to the IBM PC.
 GT> Unfortunately, I get a 'General Failure error reading drive A' message
 GT> issued by the PC.  This has happens the other way, too. That is, on
 GT> Rainbow-formatted disks written on the the PC and read back onto the
 GT> Rainbow.  Would someone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
