Let's forget about VI, ZZ, and saving to disk, OK?

Yes. My complaint is with DOS. VI was an example. In Zen terms, you were
looking at the finger when I was pointing at the moon. You really ought to
look into Zen. It's educational.

Anyway, I was trying for a bit of humor, OK?

The problem is that AmigaDOS is not very reliable. Part of the problem is the
(insert expletive of choice) one-sector per track arrangement. Yes, I know
there are 11 "sectors" per track. They're purely a software effect. From
the point of view of the hardware it's one sector.

I don't claim to know all the details of why it's not reliable, but I'd like
to just ask one thing...

Are you doing anything about the problem?
