Has anyone else ever had trouble transfering files onto a DOS disk bigger
than about 200-300K? Every time I fill up a standard HD with more than that,
the PC will report a read error when it tries to get it (And I've tested this
on about 5 different PC's)  Is this normal, or should I take my NeXT in to get
the floppy drive replaced before my warranty runs out (a couple of days, I
believe).


Also, does 3.0 have a faster DOS filesystem? Gahd, is it slow reading and 
writing to DOS floppies compared to a normal PC, or a NeXT formatted disk.

Thanks,

Dan Hartman
