Disk Errors



When trying to copy files to disks, I encountered a disk error that happened
quite often. First, I you have a mac disk in the drive when Executor starts,
then rename it, you cannot Eject it (it is greyed-out). Second, if you have a
disk in the drive then press ALT-SHIFT-2 you get: 
Fatal Error
dosdisk.c:305;in 'dosdisk_seek'
failed assertion '0'

Sometimes you must press BREAK to exit executor.

P.S. That TRIM.COM utility looked good at first but then it took HOURS to
take 84 bytes off a 800K file. I started a file at 3:00, then went out to do
some errands, came back around supper time, and it was still going!!!! I
canceled it then looked at the file that it created; it was 799K.
