	If you'd like to back up 28 megs of data to 800k floppies, I'll
invite you over next time. :) Bottom line is that I can reconfigure all the
usenet conferences on that volume of my proline system way faster than I
can back it up.

	However, the *next* time I do this I will test the drive. Please
note that I did test the drive for bad blocks/blocks in use before I ran
the prosel 16 optimizer, and nothing showed up.
