Hi again!

JVW> maybe the SVI's drive is busted...

That's what I've began to fear myself too. But the drive *does* work ok
by itself -- I mean it can read disks which have been formatted and
written to by itself.

I opened the SVI in the hope that the internal drive would have been
similar enough to modern 3.5" drives so I could have changed it myself,
but the drive appears to be quite unique. =I

By the way, my SVI always formats only one side of a disk, thus creating
360 kbyte disks. I have a faint recollection of creating 720 kbyte disks
with my earlier SVI 738, and I don't think it would have been a "tuned
up" version. My current 738 doesn't even ask if I want to format one or
two sides of the disk, it only asks do I want to format disk in drive A
or drive B. Could this have anything to do with the problem? Should I be
able to format double sided disks with a standard SVI 738?

Thanks in advance, again! =)

- Jyri
