Here's an unusual situation... About two or three times a week, I'll be using by Zenith-248 (286-8MHz) for something that requires more hard drive usage than normal, such as PKzipping/unzipping or (more likely) a Norton Speeddisk or DiskDoctor checkup, and the system will stop and announce "Drive not ready: close door" (or something very similar). This makes little sense as a hard drive, of course, has no door closed or otherwise. Fortunately, I also get the option (A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail or (I)gnore [Note: I'm running 4DOS], and the (R)etry invariably works. It *is* an annoyance, however, and if anyone has any idea how it could be fixed, please let me know.
