My DF1: has been acting strangly lately, not only does it complain
about R/W errors far too frequently, but on occasion I stick a disk
in and it reports it as bad (unformatted) when its not (df0: read it).
There seems to be no good reason or consistancy to its behavior.
Sometimes ejecting and reinserting the disk is all thats needed to get
it read, sometimes it needs to be ignored for an hour.
Is it time to bring it in to a doctor or can I wap it on the side with
a rolled up newspaper ? Has this happened to anyone else, any ideas?

thanks,
