	Here's an unusual situation...  About two or three times a week, I'll
be using by Zenith-248 (286-8MHz) for something that requires more hard drive
usage than normal, such as PKzipping/unzipping or (more likely) a Norton
Speeddisk or DiskDoctor checkup, and the system will stop and announce
"Drive not ready: close door" (or something very similar).  This makes little
sense as a hard drive, of course, has no door closed or otherwise.

	Fortunately, I also get the option (A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail or 
(I)gnore [Note: I'm running 4DOS], and the (R)etry invariably works.  It *is*
an annoyance, however, and if anyone has any idea how it could be fixed,
please let me know.

				Thanks,
