When I bought my Amiga about a year ago the dealer advised me that the newer disk drives used a pin to test the write-protect slide. He said some disks have too thin a slide. The pin drops too far and gives a false reading. It sounds unlikely, but your problem might be related to that. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...seismo!akgua!usfvax2!jc3b21!fgd3
