After I got the drive I was told that it uses MFM rather than GCR, and that MFM has a bug in it which can cause errors in reading data. Can someone enlighten me as to what this means, what the bug is, if any, how it manifests itself, and how to avoid it, etc... >>> Dave -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
