Ahem, some floppies use HFS.  How does Dekstop Manager interact with
them?  I have tried using it on a Mac II HD 40 and had no problem using
HFS floppies.  I subsequently removed it from my system, since it's hard
enough tracking down system crashes without an unsupported, possibly 
dangerous INIT floating around.
