Since I installed 6.0.5 on a couple of Mac IIs, Ive been having a lot
of problems. (Not due to viruses - Ive checked). Some of the worst
ones seem to be that somehow, the disk low level structures are
getting corrupted.  (For what its worth, Im using Desktop Manager and
quite a few other inits).  Each machine has two hard disks, and on
each of them, its got to the stage where Disk First Aid has reported
that it was unable to verify the status of one of the disks. In one
case, the disk became unmountable, and I had to restore it from a
backup. On the other machine, the SUM Shield Init now seems to just
hang on shutdown. Ive also had a problem with Wingz crashing on its
second launch - which Ive been told is a problem with the way Wingz
manages its memory, and changes Apple made in 6.0.5. Anyhow - can
anyone shed any light on these disk problems? - remember, its happening
on 2 different machines, and I think its more than a coincidence.

Thanks. Ralph
