I have an A1010 external drive for my Amiga 1000.  Recently it has been 
generating an unreasonable number of "Read/Write Errors".  (Say 15 in 20 hours
of operation...a ROUGH estimate).  Since it only seems to happen on DF1: and
not DF0:, and I it has happened on a wide varitey of disks, I suspect that it
is the drive that is at fault.   Here's the question: what's my best solution?
I've only had the drive for 6 months and it hasn't been abused (hardly even
moved).  Naturally, the solution I'd prefer most is the cheap one that doesn't
leave me without a drive for any length of time.

Thanks in advance....
