[comp.sys.mac] Mac+ Freezes on disk insertion

lbaum@bcsaic.UUCP (Larry Baum) (01/04/89)

I am experiencing a frustrating problem with my Mac+.
Whenever I insert a disk into my external floppy drive when
the Open File dialog box is active, the system freezes.  I
cannot move the mouse or use the keyboard or anything.

1) Any idea what is happening?

2) It is very annoying to have to reboot.  Can anyone suggest
a set of incantations to use if I bring up the debugger
window via the programmer's switch?

Thanks.

They inacantations used to be:

SM FA700 A9F4 <Return>
PC FA700 <Return>
G <Returns>

If the Gods are willing, you are supposed be returned to the
Finder.

But if this works, you should reboot anyway.
