  I have a SE/30 and am having trouble reading disks occasionally.  The usual
scenario is that the machine says this disk is not in the proper format would
you like to initialize it.  Reinserting the disk several times has always
caused it to work fine after that.  This is true for both low and high
density disks, but the problem is worse with low density disks (often written
by another Mac -- a low density drive equipped Mac II).
  Any ideas as to what I might check.  I will open the case soon and put
more memory in anyway.
