I rearranged my "studio" the other night wth the addition of a real keyboard stand (rok-steady two tier -- mainly because that was all that Daddy's had for sale and I used some credit I had there and can't afford now to spend real $$ now :-( ) I put my Atari ST on the top tier with the monitor on top of it. The top tier is angled a little down so the computer is angled down a bit and I perched the monitor on the back of it against the wall, so the monitor was somewhat on top of the computer. Low and behold, the floppy went inactive. I kept getting data errors when trying to run a program. This happened on several disks so I got suspicious. I went downstairs, got some alu-foil (3 sheets worth layered together) and put it between the monitor and the computer. Voil�, now everything worked. I was a victim of RF intereference. Chad

Me too, Chad. I set my ST on top of my rack, and set the monitor on
top of my ST (using an old PRO software box to level things out; it's
the perfect height!).
Anyway, it is not at all uncommon for my disks to go nutso. I've found
that twisting the monitor slightly to the right eliminates this problem
(as does sliding the monitor a few inches away from immediately over
the disk drive).
