My copy was waiting for me when I got home Friday night. I love the KeyFinder
DA.

The first snag I hit was trying to make a copy of the Emergency disk as they
recommend. No 800K diskette has enough room to duplicate their disk. So I
guess you're forced to use the original.

Installing from backup floppies (I made a 1.4 Meg floppy for a backup
emergency):
 
 1. When I inserted the second disk, it complained about the disk not being
    locked as they recommend. I ejected and locked it.

 2. Before inserting the installation disk as requested at the end, I locked
    it too. I guess that was a stupid thing to do, but I bet I'm not the
    only one who does it.

 3. The Mac froze up, so I rebooted. The installation had not been completed.

 4. I threw everything away and started over. This time all three backup
    disks were locked. At the end of that installation it froze up again
    but at least it was installed this time.

It found a problem with one of the tour diskettes that I let it fix because
I couldn't remember which one was unusable. It was the other tour diskette
that is not recognized at all, so Norton couldn't see it either.  A disk
that is getting read errors checked out OK. Another one that the Mac wants
to initialize seems to be beyond help. These are all diskettes. My hard disk
is fine and better stay that way having just replaced it.
