Re: *WARNING* to Focus Drive (and possibly Sirius RAM card) owners regarding write corruption!

<<That's very interesting.  Did you have to get a new card?  I can't imagine
why _any_ application should cause the FocusDrive grief, with the possible
exception of very, very high levels of I/O (which I believe AppleWorks GS to be incapable of).

Is is possible the Focus driver is haywire?                                             
 
I do have a glitch in my system that's independent of the card.  It periodically and randomly crashes into the monitor.  The problem has improved with the upgraded Transwarp.  It occurred with the old Focus as well as the new. BTW I do have a Buggie Power supply with 200 watt rating.  
 
I have an old and new Focus.  The old Focus still works but it's slowly going south.  The save files function of AWGS - and it began to happen with Spectrum saving test files too (so figure that out - S key or gremlins).  I have had to boot the old Focus HD to copy data via SCSI drives as I have to arrange making 17 partitions fit in 11.  
 
The first replacement Focus I bought I returned because I had this problem with slot 7.  That's when I talked to Tony.  He sent me a different Focus and I had the same problem.  I figured it wasn't worth complaining about if the card works, but not in slot 7.  The main problem with running it in slot 6 is that I sometimes use the 5.25" drive.  I need the SCSI drive in 7 to boot from.  
 
My GS SIG guru hates AppleWorks GS.  He says it has 150 known bugs and the database is unreliable.
