#Validation errors

I get validation errors on "regular" disks. It seems that if you pull the disk, and then put it back in, the Amiga, while checking the disk, redoes the Validator. I think there is a validation ghost in the machine.

you should always wait 3 seconds after an operation "completes" before pulling the disks cuz the machine doesn't flush it's internal buffers to disk for 3 seconds after the last access. just be patient. the light will go on, it will gronk a few times, and then it goes off. 3 seconds later, it will light up again. when it goes off the 2nd time, it's truly safe to pull the disk. –Scotty
