I am having trouble accessing store bought disks, disks created by other macs and even disks formatted by GCR. I just get disk errors when I try to copy stuff or sometimes the disk isn't even recognized as a MAC disk. These same disks are subsequently readable by other machines (real MAC's) and copies of the disks sometimes turn out more readable than the originals. This makes me suspect alignment problems but they don't show up in atari mode. Also I sometimes get errors when I format a disk in MAC mode and subsequently try to use it but when I run GCR test on these disks everything passes. I've tried running the GCR test several times and it passes using the disks that I previously had errors on. Anyone else have a simular problem? BTW- I have no problems accessing files in ATARI mode. kk -- Kenneth Kron kron@netcom.COM

I remember a problem with Spectre GCR needing well shielded drives and drive cables. Particularly in the MEGA and 1040 models (those with internal drives... Anyone have any details fr the fellow who is having trouble reading mac disks w his GCR? john cummins
