> bunch of problems with fastback  mainly disk formatting

I have used Fastback going to 360/720/1200 K floppies and 720/1.44 3.5"
floppies.  I have seen the error that  ??? at nvuxk has seen.  I finally
decided that it was due to a substandard floppy disk drive.  It was a
360k 5.25" floppy drive and that was the only floppy drive on which the
error ocurred.  I have not seen any of the other problems but it is possible
that they are related.  I just quit using that drive for backups.
