First remark: I am very happy with Flash, so don't take this as any condemnation. I just wonder who else has met this oddity. When I start a disk command before the disk drive has stopped humming from the previous command, then the disk drive can hang up. Also applies to when the previous command is still executing, but is probably the same phenomenon. Thus, after setting in motion a disk command S0:* to scratch all files on a scratch disk, I asked to load the directory while the scratching was going on. Lo and behold, the disk went into an infinite null loop, only stoppable by power off. After powering back on I found that there were still some files on the disk. Anyone ever seen such oddities?
