It's time to take a long hard look at your FDHD's and talk to your vendor. I have seen constant complaints revolving around these drives. I have personally seen a diskette failure rate quadruple using an FDHD over the 800k drive. I now have in my hand one of your SE/30 tour diskettes that was removed from the package and a format attempted, which failed! I can now see a very noticable ring scraped into the media. What's going on, Apple? For the money one must pay for this equipment, I expect better. When many users complain about new, high quality, HD diskettes failing in a short period on your FDHD, you'd better take notice and get some answers!
