Were you by any chance running Shell 204M as well. Because this is the
same problem I was having Track 40, Surface 0. Since I was able to 
reproduce read errors with Shell as I mentioned yesterday, with my
5 1/4 " drive I'm assuming that the bug I found in 1.2 was also causing
the 3 1/2" trashing, but just not able to reproduce it on df0: or df1:
So be careful not to blame VT100 for this one. If you were using Shell
2.04M get the fixed version that I just posted.
If you were'nt using Shell 2.04M please let us know maybe there's other
problems lurking out there!
