Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


(20)  2nd paragraph, 3rd sentence;
The sentence begins, "RAID-O (capitol O)
should be "RAID-0" (numeral zero)


[24]  XOR box;
The fourth line of the XOR truth table should be "F F F".


{24}  XOR aside (in sample chapter online, not sure about printed copy);
Truth values for XOR are incorrect.
Should be  p=F q=F -> XOR= F
Given values are for nonexclusive OR.

OR:
       Inputs       Output
A         B         Q
0         0         0
0         1         1
1         0         1
1         1         1

XOR:
      Inputs       Output
A         B         Q
0         0         0
0         1         1
1         0         1
1         1         0


EDITOR: Both bugs on pg 24 are correct. The result of the XOR
is F.


(35) under the 'Bus-width and bus-speed' section, 2nd paragraph, next to last line, it states
"..up to 533MHz"
it should say:
"..up to 533MB/s"


{43}, states 
"this changed in 1986 with the intro of the Apple Macintosh II, which 
came standard with a SCSI controller but no hard disk.  The following year 
Apple introduced the Mac SE & Mac II both available with internal hard disks."

This should read

"this changed in 1986 with the intro of the Apple Macintosh Plus, which
came standard with a SCSI controller but no hard disk.  The following year
Apple introduced the Mac SE & Mac II both available with internal hard disks."


[101] IN PRINT: example config file, Mirror #2 section, eleventh line;
"raid-disk    0"

SHOULD BE:
"spare-disk   0"


[102] IN PRINT: example config file, fifth line from top of page;
"raid-disk    0"

SHOULD BE:
"spare-disk   0"


[103] IN PRINT: example config file, Second RAID-5 section, last line;
"raid-disk    3"

SHOULD BE:
"raid-disk    2"
