Hmmm, that just may be true. Of course, I don't doubt you, Bob. 

btw, it WAS a pleasure finally meeting you in person in Atlanta.

I used to iniz all of my floppy devices but took it out when I found a
different bug in the floppy driver. The "super block" data in the driver DD is
from the last device inized assiciated with a specific device. Thus, if you did
an:

iniz d0 u0

and then tried to do a "free /d0" on a floppy, the free space would be relative
to a /u0 formatted floppy. So I took out the iniz, but haven't done an os9gen
until I got the 340 upgrade. (You really need to get one of these, btw, it is
REALLY nice!)
