Disk reading problem



I haven't tried Executor for several versions--and the improvement since I
last did is awesome.

That said, I have a problem (which could be due to my inexperience; but...)
when I attempt to use the HX-Fer program to copy a disk, Executor bombs
to DOS with the following message when I click "drive" sufficient times
for the program to attempt to access my floppy disk:

eax=ffffe1e4 ebx=0002530e ecx=001c1cbc edx=0000001b esi=00000000 edi=0002530e
ebp=001c1b28 esp=001c1b28 cs=00a7 ds=00af es=00af fs=00d7 gs=0000 ss=00af
Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x000221d9
  0x00028159
  0x00028471
  0x00025400

  0x000b75a1
  0x000b7c2d
  0x000bb330
  0x000bb4f8

The disk in the drive is a MAC formatted 1.4MB floppy. My computer is
a Pentium/90 with a Micronics motherboard, 500MB IDE + 1G Quantum
SCSI + 270MB Syquest SCSI removable, and 48MB of RAM; it also
has a Colorado 250MB tape backup drive run via the floppy disk
port (maybe this is my problem?). I started Executor with 

executor -applzone 8192
I got the same result with any attempt to access the floppy via the
GO menu.
