    You don't. MFS is dead. 400k disks aren't supported anymore...
    (Yes, I even tested this out... weird errors result...)

    Since you're wrong and I point it out, this means that *you*
    have to buy *me* a 040 board. 8-)

Well, since the "little double lines" have been disqualified as the
"most subtle System 7 change", how about this one:

On my IIfx, if I repeatedly press the shift key without hitting any other
keys (something I do sometimes while I'm thinking), the IIfx will begin
to emit random squeals and whistles.  I haven't decided whether I like
this "feature" (because it wakes me up), or hate it (because it breaks my
train of thought).

Has anyone else noticed this, or am I the only shift-key-twiddler around?
