In regard to a recent posting about the LaCie 80 meg hard drive, I would like
to say that I also have the same problems with the internal drive on the 
Mac II.
The drive is really fast and everything about it is great except
if a (most) program crashes. The machine would not boot from the drive. 
I boot from a floppy, run Silverlining and then Disk First Aid, as
described in the article about 2 days ago (sorry I lost the article), and
everything would be just fine.

On calling LaCie, they said that they cannot reproduce the problem but they
are working on a fix ! Sounds contradicting to me how can they fix the problem
if they cannot reproduce it ?
They also said that the most recent version of Silverlining (4.06 or 4.07)
might fix the problem but they have no proof.

Mean while  I try new programs with the HD unmounted.

Does anybody out there know if this problem is fixable ? Or am I going to
have to live with it.

Is LaCie on the net ?
