update: i've swapped in a floppy from an SE, and another from a CC. same problem. looks like ANY write operation results in a rejected disc, a Type 11 error, a bus error, or a hang. it's an SE/30 running 7.5.5 with Mode32 7.5, 20MB ram, and a 2.255GB scsi (used Lido to make it work). the ram is 4 x 4MB (8-chip) and 4 x 1MB (3-chip). i get the same problem with any other configuration (OS, ram, HD, etc.) any ideas? jj -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
