PUBLIC APOLOGY: My IIcx hard disk problem posted recently was harsh and unsubstantiated. This is what happens when you read news on a bad day. On to business: Well, many people have suggested INITs as the culprit. This is why I pointed out the use of a IIx as a control. Same drive ==> Same INITs. I suppose INIT operations could vary between the two platforms. I was unfortunately biased by several other complaints of the same nature into thinking the problem was more hardware related. Until I am able to return to the installation (an hour away) I will be unable to test this again, but when I do see it happen again, I am going to find out who is making the drive calls with MacsBug. I will follow up.
