- I had exactly the same symptoms. I have a 1542B with an LXT-200 disk,
- Wangtek 5150ES tape, and LMS-214 CDROM. Unfortunately, the problem is *NOT*
- reproduceable. Right now, the driver is workiung fine, and I've changed
- nothing since the write errors were reported.
-
- Anyone have any clues on this?
