When I use "mke2fs /dev/fd0u1722"  to create floppyies I get lots of 
error messages of the form

end_request: I/O error, dev 02:3c (floppy), Sector 3380

The last numnber can range from 18 to  3442

I also get the same sort of error with "mke2fs /dev/fd0"

I get these on two machines with different floppy disks.

Can I trust these floppies with my development version of "Star Trek" 
written in LUA?

Do I need to use some other parameter?
