For those who noted my note a week ago about weird behavior,
"can't load needed resource" messages, sporadic bombs especially
involving menu item selection, especially involving da's...I
seem to have fixed it. The problem was in a chunk of da's installed
in a particular suitcase file that was apparently written to a bad
chunk of disk media. The mac was extremely confused about the size
of this particular suitcase (varying from 10K to 4.4 Meg...), and
apparently Suitcase tried to deal with it but couldn't. Thus the
occasional failure to boot, and occasional bombs with da's--those
particular da's ALWAYS bombed. So I replace them with clean copies,
mapped out bad sectors, and boom! Back in business....Now my power
supply is beginning to go....
