- I've noticed two problems that I thought I'd bring to the attention
- of the //gs people at Apple.
-
- First, let me tell you about my system so you can set one up like it.
- I have an Apple //gs with ROM 01. The system has 4megs of memory on
- an AE GS Ram card. I also have the Apple SCSI interface card plugged
- into an Apple 20meg hard drive (SCSI). There is an Apple 800k 3.5"
- floppy drive attached to the system, a color monitor (Apple), and the
- dinky keyboard (not the expanded).
-
- The two problems are:
-
- 1. I can not format an HFS volume. The system takes a dump into the
- monitor when I try.
-
- 2. I can read an HFS volume. However, twice now I have had the
- diskettes, which I've placed into the 800k drive on the Apple
- //gs, go bad on me. The catalog track on the HFS drive (track
- 16 [$10]) seems to be corrupted. I do not remember if I had
- written to the diskette or if I just read it. I think that
- what happened was that when I closed the folder the //gs rewrote
- the window information back out to the disk. It is this writing
- that I believe might be causing the problem.
-
- Let me know. Thanks.
