I`m a consultant at a computer lab at UVa, and I have come across something
very strange tonight. All of our PS/2 's (or about 5, really,of 15)
are giving an error 27 in WordPerfect 5.0. It seems to do a lot of damage
to the disk, althiough I am uncertain. One thing is that the directory
is sometimes erased, which means I have to chkdsk/f the disk to get some of the files back.
Does ANYBODY know why? Please send e-mail, I will post a series of replies
in a week or so.
