Thanks, Adrian, for your answer! I think we're getting closer to the problem, although not quite hot yet.
Yes, I go online with it through a small network from time to time, but also have to start up often without being connected. Would it make a difference if I always switched off AppleTalk when disconnecting? I usually don't...Was the machine formerly ethernetted?
Only, I never connect to servers, the 'network' is just a router+modem connecting several computers to the internet. So naturally, the folder 'Recent Servers' is empty, and I can't figure out what else this 'server file' you mention could be. Any more comes to mind, or a hint what I should search for in the PowerBooks archive?
I looked into the AppleTalk Prefs file and the TCP/IP Prefs file (not the Control Panels, but the Preferences files themselves): both are quite small and don't contain repetitions.
Re. Fragmentation: Yes, that's clear. But how do you like my more brutal
method--copying all files (including the System folder...) to another harddisk and putting them back after a format? At least it avoids problems with defragmentation programs that don't support certain file systems...
Anyone knows of a good free defragmentation program? Also for 68K computers, as asked before.
