I've been slowly "mining" a box of about 1000 NorthStar disks...
So the Vector is often sitting here sucking on a diskette and
sending it up to the PC. My PC software tells me when it gets a
soft communications error (checksum failure), and I do see them
occuring from time to time - often enough that I would not want
to ignore the possibility.

Dave
