I received my MacSE/30 several weeks ago and, overall, 
I have been quite pleased. I have however begun to see
what I think is a problem with the High Density Floppy
Drive. The drive appears to work fine when using single 
or double density (400k and 800k) floppies. But when I
format a HD floppy, about 50% of the time, the floppy 
that I formatted either:

	1) Loses a couple of files in copying to it.
	   ie. cant be written to.

	2) When reinserted into the drive at a later date,
	   the floppy cant be read.

I have tried Memorex, Sony, 3M and Polaroid diskettes,
all appear to have the same problem. I have also made sure
that the media is kept away from all Magnetic sources
(speakers, telephones, etc.), dust, dirt and liquids.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
Any and all help greatly appreciated. Post or mail,
I _do_ read this group regularly.
