I have also noticed the same sort of weirdness this week.  After returning
from a trip and finding that I cannot boot from my external 30MB drive, I
switched to booting from my AUX sash partition.  I've been running like
this for a few days (no time to restore bootblocks yet) and have noticed
that I can't get DAs to come up when running Multifinder - pull down menu,
select DA, mouse up - all I get is a beep-alert.  Today a co-worker came in
and appears to have the same problem on an SE with 2.5 MB RAM.  BTW my IIx
has 5 MB.
