There have been many reported minor problems with the unidisk on a GS.
It just doesn't seem to perfectly fit in, in every way.  I would
recommend trading it (if that is what you have) for an Apple 3.5.  Since
Uni's for ][e's are far rarer than Apple 3.5s, someone should be willing
to do this, or match prices with what you sell the Uni & card for.  If
you don't have the ][e card for it, that makes it a little tougher.
