- Has anyone else ever had trouble transfering files onto a DOS disk bigger
- than about 200-300K? Every time I fill up a standard HD with more than that,
- the PC will report a read error when it tries to get it (And I've tested this
- on about 5 different PC's) Is this normal, or should I take my NeXT in to get
- the floppy drive replaced before my warranty runs out (a couple of days, I
- believe).

- Also, does 3.0 have a faster DOS filesystem? Gahd, is it slow reading and
- writing to DOS floppies compared to a normal PC, or a NeXT formatted disk.

- Thanks,
