You know, it just occurs to me that a serious problem I just recently had
might be related to the 800K Init that's floating around:

I HAD a two drive Mac+ with HD20SC. One day I ejected a disk, when low &
behold, there was this white plastic thingie caught in the disk shutter. I
thought, "Great! This is sure to have messed up my disk head!" When I looked
at the drive, I found it WAS the disk head.

My question is: Could this be in anyway related to System Software (I was
running 6.0.2 and later 6.0.4)? It was a Mac Plus, not SE, not II
(unfortunately). At the time, I figured I was SOL. I still figure that, but
I also figure that it couldn't hurt to ask. Figures, eh?
