Jim, Why do you blame Commodore for an error when you pull a disk during a write? What would you have them do…lock the eject button? The user has to take responsibility for some errors. CBM has warnings printed in prominent places several times in the manuals about pulling disks too soon. As Steve has pointed out, keeping the system occupied while doing disk access is against the idea of multi-tasking. The disk access is simply another process that runs with all the other process at any one time. Pulling the disk from almost ANY computer while the disk is being written to is fatal to that disk…that's a fact of physics, if you don't complete the write…you don't have complete data on the disk.
