We have an Apple HD20 hard disk that can no longer be written to. Examples: From the Finder put some files in the trash, empty the trash, restart, and the files reappear. Or, save a file on the disk from any application - it seems to work, but the file never shows up. Mysteriously there are no error mes- sages. Furthermore, reinitializing the disk solves the prob- lem, but only temporarily. Please email any suggestions to Brian Clark - clark@boulder.colorado.edu or reply to me and I will forward. PS: Configuration is Mac Plus, HD20, System Software 6.0.2, no fancy stuff. Jonathan Pratt pratt@boulder.colorado.edu
