   I've gotten the same message running DFA on my external non-SCSI
Apple HD20 on a Mac+ with either system 3.2 or 4.0 under various finders.
I sure do wish the silly little program would be a bit more
explicit (i.e. WHY is it unable to verify??!!).
   I've been waiting and waiting for somebody else to comment on this.
   I noted the problem several weeks ago, use the machine heavily,
and have noticed no other major anomalous behavior.
