Hi again, Listers, My two otherwise defective OS 9.1 HDs, which will be eventually removed and hopefully replaced by one new and bigger IDE HD in the somewhat foreseeable future, are good for only one thing -- ejecting CDs, floppies (er, well, more on floppies in a moment) and Zip disks when I initiate the eject command.
On my OS 8.1 HD -- which I'm now forced to work with almost exclusively for the time being and is OTHERWISE good -- every time I try to eject a CD, floppy or Zip disk, I get a hangup with the little "wristwatch," and the computer refuses to eject as commanded. Doesn't matter whether I use Command-E or drag the icon to the Trash; it simply won't eject. But when I do a restart "elsewhere" -- on either of the 9.1 HDs or from the Utilities CD, the eject commands work perfectly well. Does anyone know how come? And, as of yesterday, suddenly all floppies are being rejected -- they cause a freeze-up, no matter what I booted up with. The floppies themselves are good. I know because I use them in my Powerbook. As in the same floppy I just successfully copied data onto from the PB, I insert it straight into the G3 and it immediately proceeds to hang the G3. Any ideas why?
