I am having a problem with a Macintosh portable.  It is running
Finder 6.1.4 and System 6.0.4.  Frequently (80% of the time), if
I place an 800k disk (which was formatted on a Mac ][) into the
drive, the machine hangs.  The hang occurs when I try to move an
icon from the 800k disk, or attempt to throw something out.

Have others seen this?  Are there workarounds?  Please reply to
me by mail, I will post a summary if there is interest.
