I have been using the Logikhron clock card and an Atari hard disk together
on my 1040 for about six months now, and have never had any problems.  I
called Logikhron when I first got my hard disk and was told that they had
never been able to verify the reported problems and had never had any
reports of problems directly from users.  Perhaps the reported problems
were not really related to the clock card (the 40-folder bug maybe???) or
were related to some "special" version of the operating system or the
hard disk driver used at Atari.

BTW, when ARE we going to see the updated hard disk driver (or whatever)
from Atari that allows booting from the hard disk???
