NCR System Models 3333 and the 32xx series may experience problems
reading from and writing to floppy disks under Windows NT. Accessing
the floppy disk drives may generate the following error message:
 
   Could not perform because of an I/O error
 
In addition, floppy disk writes may result in the loss of all data on
the floppy disk.
 
According to NCR, a software patch is available that resolves the
floppy disk problems. The patch is available from NCR's BBS. The BBS
number is (803) 939-7504. The file is in the NCRHW section and is
named FDD_FIX.EXE.
