Yes, Master 3A makes errors to disks and sometimes the read/write head 
stays at track 80, and it don't want to come out. (My friend have a 3A).
After we had tryed six times to format another disk, driver started to work 
again. Really strange..! It's no good to buy this driver, because it makes
only trouble. In fact, I have extra drive too, Citizen RF302C, and it 
has worked like a dream. One time the step motor sticked in track 83.. 
But in normal user (me? ;^) can't destroy disks with RF like with Master 3A. 
I don't know, but I think you can find this model from USA too. Here I
payed about 900 FIM (about $225.. but here everything is anything but cheap..
there the prise is some $150-..). BTW, how much costs 3.5" disks there
in USA? I've been thinking that it will be cheapest if I order 100 disks
from there. Here one cheapest disk cost 7 FIM, which means about $1.70.
Why didn't I born in USA??!?

Sorry about the "language-errors", but I think that my english is better than
your finnish.. :^)
