Or just a bad sector in the right (wrong) place. I've never understood
why, in the PC world, it appears to be a defacto standard _not_ to
write-verify floppies. Incredible for a media with such a high failure
rate.
<rant>
Now, when I was a lad and used Amiga DOS, written data was always
verified. Yes, it was slower, but one could be fairly confident the
floppy actually contained the intended data whenever it was going to
be used. I took a lot of flak from PC friends using DOS which wrote
data to floppies much faster (verify disabled per default in DOS, but
could be enabled). At the time I didn't (unfortunately) grill them
about failure rates - my own experience is that the more important the
data, and the longer it travels from the source, the greater the
chance it'll be toast on arrival.
