        Would someone from Apple or someone who has messed around a lot with
the SCSI drivers and GS/OS care to comment on *exactly* what error conditions
arrise to give the generic cryptic error message: Hard1 may be damaged?
After getting out of the text box, Orca then complains directory structure
damaged... I've looked around the directory structure, obviouslly it isn't
damaged, and Orca just isn't up to the times, but what is wrong?

I'm getting these errors all the time for the back 400k or so of my hard
drive, and the directory I'm in now seems stuck to use that area, even though
I moved off 3 megs to bacup..

Its a little hard to fix anything, if GS/OS won't tell you what it is.. I
don't* want to do either a hard or soft re-formatting, simply because I don't
have enough off-line storage to do so..

I don't want to dissassemble all of GS/OS error handler routines to find out..
Just a pain..
