I am currently using 3.1 on an AT with a Bernoulli Box (2 x 10M).  I have
been using BACKUP to transfer large files between my system and a client's
using 360K floppies.  My client has a PC clone running 2.11.  I haven't
noticed any problems.  What should I be looking for?  What is the nature
of the bugs you mention?
