That happened with me on Eyetech's standard EZ-IDE buffered interface, when
my A1200 was still in a desktop. If I switched the A1200 on before my
external CD-ROM, the RDB of the hard drive would get wiped. Likewise if I
turned the CD-ROM off before the A1200.

Since moving into a tower, where both devices are powered up simultaneously,
I don't get this problem any more!

Cheers,
