After recently switching to a Mac IIfx, I noticed that the cdev "InUse" (which displays a blinking box to the left of the Apple in the menu bar whenever the hard disk is accessed) no longer works. If I move the cursor to where the light is supposed to be displayed, it flickers, as if something is trying to write to that spot on the screen. It is not system related, as the problem persists with fresh startup software, booting off external disks, etc. But the really annoying thing is that it *did* work for a few days. Also, the double arrows that are displayed whenever one accesses an Appleshare server are also no longer displayed. (A connection?) System setup: MacIIfx, 8Mb, 8.24 display card, 13" RGB, 6.0.5, MultiFinder InUse 1.0b3 (if there is a newer version, could some kind soul send me a copy as I have no FTP :-( Everything worked fine on my old IIx. Like I said, I've tried removing all other inits, etc but still no InUse or Appletalk arrows. Any ideas, help, etc. Greatly appreciated.
