I have an A1000 with a Progressive Peripherals "The Vault" 33 meg Seagate 
hard drive connected.  It generally provides good service on the DH0: 
partition (16M), but the DH1: partition, after 2 or 3 weeks of use, begins 
to get read/write errors, increasingly so daily until it becomes necessary 
to backup and reformat the drive.
 
I tried formatting it with "Bformat4", with the slow option, which checks 
the drive very thoroughly for errors, and takes quite a while (overnight was 
how long I left it.. not because I wanted to but because I fell asleep 
waiting for it).  Bformat found no anomalies with the disk.  Is there maybe 
an update for the driver software, or does anyone out there know a way I can 
stop this behaviour?
