I just noticed some strange behavior from my Mac+ at home, and am wondering
if any of you mac wizards had any idea of what is going on, and if it is
serious.

	System:  Mac + (about 1 yr old), 1 meg
	         Jasmine Direct Drive 20 (6 months old-I love it)
	         ImageWriter II
	         Sys 4.1, Finder 5.5, etc.

	Symptoms:  If the hard drive is connected and turned on, the Mac
	will boot off of it instead of off a floppy in the internal drive,
	even if the floppy was in the drive when the mac was turned on.
	It doesn't seem to be a problem with the floppy drive, since it reads
	and writes to disks ok, and will boot off of a floppy (the same one
	it wouldn't boot off of with the hard drive on) if the hard drive is
	left off.  I do know that everything worked normally about a month ago,
	which was the last time that I tried to boot off a floppy.  I noticed
	this behavior when I was trying out a copy of the new system (4.2,6.0)
	that I had obtained.

	Does anyone out there have any ideas?

	Thanks in advance
