I just got a second disk drive for the Mac and have noticed some funny things.
I have a disk with a number of programs including the system folder and a
pre-release of macterminal. There is 19K left on the disk. If I boot the
system cold from the internal drive and double click Macterminal, it loads
normally and after a few minutes of use it warns me that it con't save
lines off the top any more. So far so good.
Now I turn off the machine and repeat the procedure except that I put the
disk in the external drive. About halfway through the loading of Macterminal
I get the following message:
Got 10 Error -35 GetVInfo
in Open Cache OK
I click ok and in a few seconds get another message:
Disk space is very low. You
will be unable to save lines
off top. OK
Again I click OK and the program loads now and seems to work all right.
Questions: What does the first message mean? Why is booting from the
external drive different (is my new drive OK)?
I have also noticed that the external drive is much noiser that the internal
drive. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks, Dick
