Does it have problems if you start out with a Macintosh formatted
cartridge in it when Executor is started? -127 is fsDSIntErr, a real
Macintosh error code, which means something bad and unexpected
happened. fs = filesystem, IntErr = Internal Error, DS is rumored to
stand for deep doo-doo.
This is something we'll definitely want to get fixed between beta0 and
beta1 (in another post I'll explain the planned timeframe for those
two releases).
