                       PREMIUM COMPUTER WITH NASHUA DISKETTES

    A "Not ready error reading drive, Abort, Retry, Fail?" will occur when trying
    to read a Nashua high density (1.2MB) diskette on Premium Computers.

    This problem is caused by the vinyl that Nashua uses for jackets on their
    diskettes.  Currently, Nashua is shipping a thicker type of vinyl for their
    high density diskettes.  Customers experiencing this problem should contact
    Nashua.
