Mac II hangups whereby the author asks about possible hardware problems) Don't rule out software here. I had similar problems that I was blaming on a new disk I was using, and finally tracked my problems down to the use of Norton Utilities Disklight init ver. 1.0, which according to Symantic/Norton is "incompatible with all kind of stuff." Try removing all unnecessary inits and see if you still have a problem. Good luck. -- Jim Gish (jgish@gte.com) Sr. Member of Technical Staff Software Reusability Project GTE Laboratories Inc.
