Yet another problem. My hard disk is named "Hard Disk" (original, no?). Lately my Macintosh refuses to ask for floppy disks by their real name but *always* gives the message "Please insert disk: "Hard Disk"". If I disable *all* my inits, everything functions normally. But this does not sound like a very obscure bug, so before I spend an entire evening on selectively disabling/enabling my inits until I finally spot the problem, I would like to ask if the symptoms sound familiar to anyone. If so, what init or combination of inits causes the problem, and is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance, Leo Breebaart (leo @ duttnph.tudelft.nl)

Somone here had this problem just yesterday. Tossing out "Responder" (an INIT that registers the user's chooser name on the network) fixed the problem. Very weird. The symptom here was that as soon as you inserted a floppy, it would ask for the hard disk as though it had been ejected! It is getting near Haloween I suppose. ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.

I've seen this problem sporadically (although not lately). It usually presaged a system crash, so be careful, and save your work.
