	There was a problem at one point, due to reduced overhead in the
trackdisk, a few old A1000/A1010 drives were missing disk insertions/removals.
We think we've fixed it, though I'm not certain the fix was in KS 36.141/143
(the original A3000 release).  It's certainly in the current A3000 KS available
from dealers: KS 36.207 ("2.02").  If you're running 2.02 (or later if you're
a developer), and the problem still exists, it would be useful if you could
give more symptoms and the drive manufacturer (which would mean taking it
apart, sorry, but not hard).
