- I have been getting spurious alerts. The alert is the one you get when
- you insert an unformatted disk, or a non-MAC disk into the machine. i.e.
- This is not a Macintosh disk:
- Do you want to initialize it?
-
- It doesn't happen very often (a couple of times a week); sometimes I am
- using the machine, sometimes it is just idling with a screensaver. There is
- no disk in the machine, and I am not using any extension that supports
- non-Mac diskettes (though I have use Dyna Dos Mounter on this machine at
- other times).
-
- The machine is a Quadra700 with 7.0.1+tuner.
-
- Any ideas?
