HotZiggity and the Bios: Peter, we Need to Know

[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very glad you got your second floppy working
 again.  However, when you say
>I don't know what

Please reconsider.  You're the only person
 who had this problem.  As of now, strictly
 from reasoning, we have to deny culpability.
 But I would like very much for you to try it again.
 If the problem *does* happen again, then we've
 got a big problem that we had better know about
 right away.  If not, the Long Arm of Coincidence
 is the presumptive culprit.
