I have owned the Commodore Amiga 3 1/2 disk drive since 6-86 without
any problems whatsoever.  Recently, I have been getting read-write
errors even on Sonys' disks....

Amiga 1000
512 k mem
amiga live
packard bell 2400 baud modem.

I am also using 1.3 (since 3 months ago) without any startup-sequence
to bypass loss of needed memory.  Is there a possibility that 1.3
might be the culprit, or maybe a new virus?  recently, I turned
off the system, put my original kickstart and workbench in,
and re-installed my cli disk and haven't seen any problems since.
(Of course, I haven't formatted any disks lately, and that is
where the problem usually shows up.)
