that I have no way to determine when the disk is actually getting accessed. Is there some init available that will place some indicator on the menu bar mimicing a disk LED? In medival times, I wrote a TSR for an IBM that did this, and I think I have seen something similar for MacServer on a network. If I do need to write one, can anyone point me at whats needed to 'legally' write things asynchronously in the menu bar? Thanks for any help. jc@drizzle.cs.uoregon.edu

Both TOPS and AppleShare use a special flashing marker in the menu bar to indicate the systems is accessing a remote volume. TOPS just flashes a pixel while AppleShare flashes a two-headed arrow.
