It is interesting that you bring this up. We have 10 Amiga 3000's and
have had a LOT of students lately coming up with disk errors upon working
with DPaint. However, it seems that there are also quite a bit of them coming
up with errors when writing from Disney Animation Studio. This is definitely
an "above average" number of disk errors. We thought it might have to do 
with the Disney program. But with your inquiry I wonder if it might not be
a problem with 2.0 itself. 

Are there other people out there who are having similar problems? Please
post. If enough people really are having problems maybe Commodore will
take another look the 2.0 system.
