1803.0. "Dragging 1.3 FFS through the mud." by RAVEN1::EVERHART () Fri Oct 21 1988 14:13

    	This question is for all of you guys out there who have the
    official 1.3 release.  I have a friend who has been reading some
    sort of mail that makes him 100% sure that FFS works fine on floppies
    with no corruption problems or CHANGEDISK command needed.  This
    contradicts everything I have heard about the beta versions of 1.3
    Will someone out there please post the REAL status between FFS and
    floppies?  I either want to know myself, or have some sort of proof
    for him before he ends up destroying all of his disks.

	Well, I've read some USENET stuff from, I Think Andy Finkle of Commodore CATS?, who gave all the warnings you've heard (diskchange etc..). So 1. Believe him 2. Try it and see
1803.2	It'll work if he's very careful	TLE::RMEYERS	Randy Meyers	`Fri Oct 21 1988 20:59`	12
	Re: .0 Your friend is wrong. The Diskchange is needed. It'll work until he makes a slip. See previous notes. Re: .1 > I Think Andy Finkle of Commodore CATS? Andy is not a member of CATS. CATS, Commodore-Amiga Technical Support, is the support branch of the Amiga team. Finkle is in the development group.
