I have a A1000 and scribble! also. Im using df0: and twice when runnig
scribble! my drive got really loud and it was all over for the floppy.
I think that both times I had something else running that access the drive
some moments (n>seconds) before scribble! crunched it. :-<. Oh well!
	Anybody else?
