    Make sure you have the latest ROM's (3.01e, currently).  3.00l is
the minimum version, but I'm having problems with 3.01b which I hope an
upgrade will solve.  The floptical is great not only for backups, but
for offline storage as well.  Unlike tape drives, you can run your
software right off the floptical.  Also, I've partitioned one floptical
into 6 800K partitions and one 15-meg partition.  The 800K partitions
are disk images of System 6.01 and the 15-meg one holds a backup of my
HD's boot partition.  If anything goes wrong with my HD, I can still
boot off the floptical and re-install System 6.01 without flipping any
floppies.  :)
