Yo guys, please relax. There's aproblem with 800k disks, that's all.
As for the facts, the problems started when Apple switched from Sony mechanisms
to IBM drives. That was around the time the Quadras and Centrisses where in the
shops. From my own experience, it seems Apple has silently fixed this issue to
some degree. (Never had problems on my systems, but that doesn't prove
anything.)
