Arrrrgh!  Yet another initialization failure...  Has anybody experienced
problems with the super drives and formatting floppies?  I have also had
trouble with floppies just "going bad..."   Today I watched my client try
to format 3 BRAND NEW Kodak HD floppies in his 4 month old IIcx and each
one was ejected with initialization or format failed messages...

My IIci is just less than a year old and it has many of the same problems.

Do these drives just need regular alignment?

Email me if you have any wonderful insights!  Or... if you would just
like to bitch about your own superdrive problems...

Mark...
