i have been experiencing data losses on my Laser 128, like an Apple //c, but
I can't seem to figure out the problem.  It happens whenever I try to save
to my internal disk drive.  I have an Apple composite color monitor which
I suspect of causiing the problem.  My problems seemed to have started
when I purchased the monitor used as a floor model from computerland for
for a price which now seems to good to be true.  My monitor also has an
intense flickering problem(the monitor losses contrast on empty screens and
has high contrast with full screens).  I am wondering if poor shielding coul
d cause such problems and if there are any quick, easy (AND CHEAP) fixes I
could make.  By the way, i'm not losing files, I am losing all my data
on my disk.  I readjusted my drive speed today to 200 ms.  It was at
202.1 ms.  Hopefully, this could have fixed the problem.

Any help would be extremely welcome.
