OK. I'm baffled. You and Jeff appear to be the only ones having the
problem. That will make it hard for me to figure out just what the
problem is. Have you tried 1.99p5? Can you get *any* HD floppies to
work? What happens when you format the floppy under DOS and then
reformat it under Executor and use it?
I really would like to see this fixed by the time we ship 2.0, but I'm
not sure what I'm going to be able to do.
