- Funny then that I have evidence that this happens all over the place on drives
- that aren't mine. I can't see how it can be my drives when my drives aren't
- even involved.
-
- Unfortunately I can't fix **ALL MY CUSTOMERS** drives. I don't have the money
- or the time. What I can do though is understand the problem a little more and
- try to engineer a way around it. I'm in the middle of doing this by removing
- the need for my program to write to its own disks thereby trashing them, when
- using different (and possibly badly aligned drives).
-
- This problem seems far more widespread with Amigas then with PCs so perhaps
- they are less tolerant to badly aligned drives. I have been speaking with some
- other companies who also have problems with customers drives trashing the
- floppy on writing to it.
