Hi-

I wrote that I was having trouble with floppy drives on some of my 10s
not sensing/reading diskettes. Apparently this problem is widespread
and due to faulty hardware.

Sun will replace your floppy drives free under warranty.

Thanks to all who responded! They include (sorry if I missed anyone)
