Hi, In /root/System/CDevs, I have bunch of NDA which once showed up fine, but now they don't. I removed one obscure NDA that acted as startup manager of other NDA's (I forget name off hand, but it was something like NDAMaster). Now all NDA's in subfolder do not get activated. I tried removing Finfo file, but only NDA showing up is Control Panel. What's up? Also, I have a few DA of type "Classic" that *never* showed up. What are these? How can I get system to recognize them? Or are they useless since they're Classic and not New? System is IIGS, Rom03, 1Mb, 40Mb drive, System 5.0.4. Also none of my Inits are getting loaded, too. Please understand that I'm not too much of an Apple II engineer (but I'm trying) but fully understand Mac/Unix systems. Thanks!!!

CDevs is only for "CDEVS" (duhh), little programs that are seen from within the Control Panel NDA.. Such as all of the built in ones.. Lots of programs on the Mac work this way. They install a CDEV so you can change program setting that way.. If you simply typed the wrong path name for your message, I have another possible solution.. Maybe the files are INACTIVATED. You can do a "file info" on drivers/cdevs/Deask Accessories and there's a box to click that makes them inactive.. That is they are not run/loaded the next time you boot. >Rob Mitchell Advanced Simulation Division >Unix & Macintosh Engineer BBN Systems & Technologies I guess you've got your heart where it belongs, huh?
