I recently installed a TransWarp GS in my system and all of the sudden I
am having problems with my 10 meg Sider.  The Sider has the ATS ProDOS ROM,
and I am using a GS/OS native mode driver.  I am running System 5.0.2 however
the driver came on a 4.0 disk.  I have been using the driver with 5.0.2
for quite a while without trouble, however.

The problem is this:  Every once in a while during write operations,
a GS/OS error dialog pops up and says "Please insert the disk xxx" and
sometimes "The Disk xxx was prematurely ejected."  Everytime the latter
message appears the bitmap and a few directory blocks get destroyed.

I have tried the TransWarp's IRQ option both on and off with the same
results.  It passes its self-tests perfectly.  Also note that this problem
occurs only under GS/OS, not ProDOS 8.

If anyone else is having similar trouble or knows of a possible fix, please
leave me E-Mail.

Thanks
Jeff
