(sigh) Actually, the upgrade's fine, I haven't had many incompatibility problems, but somewhere along the line an icon disappeared. When there is a floppy in the internal drive of my Mac II, it's desktop icon is not the old standard diskette picture, but a front view of the Mac II with an arrow pointing to the internal drive slot (the right one). What surprises me is that I can't find that particular icon in the finder, all I can find is the old standard diskette icon. Did apple somehow localize the diskette icon to the Mac II? What does an SE owner see? I'm running a 2MB Mac II with a CMS 140MB internal HD, system 6.0, and usual gang of inits. (I can't find the icon in any inits either) The hard disk icon is that of a Mac II also, but it's always been that way, thanks to the CMS driver. BTW: I'd definitely recommend CMS hard drives for the software and aparrent reliability, as well as the price and speed, but their customer relations are really, terribly bad. The phone answerers know nothing, and there are no phones in the lab(?!) so you can't talk to someone with a functioning brain. I had disk problems a while back, and the first time the drive was sent back they returned it, claiming they couldn't find a problem that was readily aparrent. I sent it back again and called them (over the course of three days, at my own expense) to make sure it was really getting fixed, and probably wasted my time. I finally succeded in getting a phone-answerer to walk into the lab and ask them what was wrong, all I got back was confirmation that they were shipping me a new drive. Total down time -- 32 days. (And they claim 48hr turnaround!!) Flame off. ----------. . . Signatures are for regular posters -- I don't want to be remembered.
