All these stories of prodos mangling directories reminds me of why
I regularly run directory analysis/bitmap checking utilities on my
3.5's. I've never had problems with 5.25's like this, but on 3.5's
it seems occasionally the bitmap can become corrupted (more occasionally
than on 5.25s). I don't see any reason why this should happen more
frequently, but it has.

Are there problems with older versions of prodos (1.0.1 or 1.1.1)
and other-than-5.25 drives? Of course I'd been using 1.8 almost
exclusively (now 1.9), but still it could be that rare time that
that rare bug in an old version popped up...
