[comp.sys.apple] Where are my boot-sectors going? Unidisk/Prodos

Apple //c; Unidisk 3.5, ProDOS 1.1.1 or so...

In the past 3 days, I've seen 2 of my working 3.5" disks suddenly start
telling me "UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS".  Considering that I haven't had any
other problems with 3.5 disks, this is VERY distresssing...  (Yes, it's the
same drive they were written on, and the drive hasn't sustained any
trauma.)  All other files on the disks are ok, directory ok - they just
won't boot.

Not that just backing up the disk and reformatting is a problem, but if
something's happening, I'd like to know about it...

Is there something going on that I'm missing?  Is my machine
underfed/overworked?  Anyone?
