I am running a Mac II with two hard drives. Because I need to keep system 6.0.5 around until all of my applications catch up to system 7.0, I left it installed on one of the drives. After booting up 7.0 for the first time, two messages were displayed for each of the drives. The first message indicated that the desktop was being rebuilt (system 7.0 uses two data files rather than the classic desktop file;) the second that the drive was being updated for system 7.0. I have no idea what the second update did. I can successfully boot both of the systems, and everything seems to be OK. However, I am concerned that the mysterious second update may have made the drives not, well, totally backward compatible with system 6.0.5. Is it safe? Bob Abeles bea00@cccvm.ccc.amdahl.com
