Maybe. But the drive otherwise has an excellent reputation. I know
many people, including myself, who have used this drive extensively
for DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Linux (the latter quite a lot) without any
problems whatsoever. So it cannot be just the drives fault. This
explanation is way too simple.
