	I've been noticing that some of my older diskettes work on
some SE's and not others.  In two cases disks that
were initialized on the old 400k drives when inserted in my SE didn't
work at all, but were savable with MacZap.  MacZap indicated that the
allocation tables had been trashed.  However, this same diskette worked
perfectly well on another's SE.  More recently, a file on a diskette that
worked on my SE and another's was unopenable on a third person's SE; it
showed a checksum error under Fedit +.

	Has anyone else experienced such problems?
