This is for a friend who does not have net access please mail all replies to
me directly.
A friend has a problem with his Mac Plus seeming to run out of memory in
the Finder. When his hard disk is mounted as startup and two disks
are inserted into the external and internal drives, opening the
chooser will yield the message "LaserWriter cannot be used",
"AppleShare cannot be used", "ImageWriter cannot be used", etc. When
one of the disks is ejected the problem goes away. What confuses both
of us, is that it's a Mac Plus and shouldn't even come close to
running out of memory. The system is as follows:
MacPlus w/ external 800K drive
Nova 30 meg hard disk
System 4.1/Finder 5.5
Tops Spooler
Suitcase, Pyro, QuicKeys, Backdrop, Cheapbeep, MenuClock v3.0.
We both realize that the number of INITs/CDEVs could be causing
problems, but the simple fact is that there's more than enough memory
for them.
The PRAM has been reset to no avail, Systems replaced, etc. Anyone
have any ideas? Thanks in advance --
Ken
