     Sorry if I wasn't clearer; this is just one way to definately make an
error happen, quickly, under something like test conditions. (BTW, my
internal drive passes that test...) The problemis that my AIRdrive WILL
DEFINATELY EAT any diskette that it writes to on a regular basis. Until I
just gave up, it was eating an average of one diskette a day! (I refuse to
believe this is "normal.")
     I'm glad to hear that you have a well-behaving AIR drive. Mine is
still under warranty, and as soon as my hard drive comes in, I'll send this
one off for service, and I'm happy to know that at least SOME of their
more recent drives work well. (I bought mine because someone I know locally
got one some time ago and had good luck with it).
                                                        - R'ykandar.
