All those staccato-like disk accesses gave me the creeps too!  So I just
loaded up a RAM disk, & copied Maelstrom to it.  It loads much faster, and
without all that cha-cha-cha music on my hard disk.  (I have a DataFrame
XP60 that is about five years old.  I have replaced far too many DataFrames
in my depatment lately, so I treat this disk with tender loving care (and
backup regularly!))

Sounds like you are using the SUM Optimizer to optimize your disk.
This is the only optimizer that has ever done this.  This optimizer
is obsolete so there is no fix other than to get the Symantec upgrade
to Norton Utilities 2.0.

NOTE: Whenever you run a low level utility on your drive you should
ALWAYS boot with the boot floppy that comes with the utility so that
you are running with a "clean" system (no extensions).

I am having a problem with Finder aliases on a remote volume accessed by
AppleTalk Remote Access.  I want to install a new program on the remote
volume and then put an alias to the program in the Startup Items folder,
so that the program will run the next time the remote machine is
restarted.
 
I copied the program out there, then had the Finder make an alias by
selecting the icon on the remote disk and saying Make Alias. 
Unfortunately, the remote machine could not handle this alias correctly
when rebooting.  The alert message below appeared:
 
The alias "CSRavn" could not be opened because the shared disk "Codar
Data" which contains the original item could not be found on the network.
 
I don't want it to look on the network -- Codar Data is its own hard disk!
How can I create an alias remotely that will be valid for the remote
machine?

Today I opened my Sharing Setup control panel and noticed that the Owner

by accident -- other people use my mac on occasion.

But, when I tried to re-enter my Owner Name, I got a dialog saying,

out and *that* never happened before.

If any new software was installed on the machine, it was done without

not recognize.

So, can anybody tell me where this strange message might be coming
from?

I have a PowerBook Duo 230.  My father has a Macintosh II.  I was using
his Mac II over the holidays, and discovered after a while that several
files had become corrupted (including applications) and would not run.  I
bought MacTools 2.0 and scanned the disk.  It gave me errors when it got
to those files, and could not fix them.  Apparently, the resource forks
had become damaged.  There was no trace of a virus.
  I have MacTools on my machine as well, and I'm well protected against
any viruses.  Today, the same thing happened to my machine.  Some files
just randomly became corrupted.  I have no idea what caused this.  It
happened suddenly, and with no obvious cause.  Also, it appears that
several of my preferences have been reset (example  - my modem program
lost all its present numbers).  Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
 I've never experienced anything like this before.

-Turning off INIT's makes no difference
-I can't repair any files.
-Rebuilding the desktop doesn't help.
-Reinstalling the system from scratch (deleting the old one first) doesn't

This is a bug in the SCSI Manager on the Quadras; it happens on the 900
also (don't know about the 950). It is fixed in System 7.1.

Looked OFF to me.  The fan was off, and it didn't blow up, so that
pretty much says that it was off.  (the memory board had something
like 72 dynamic memory chips... And there were TWO of them...)
The power light was off, everything was off.  The startup was a cold
restart from the beginning.
The Lisa had no battery-backed-up RAM, so it did need to be
plugged in all the time.

The Lisa was like these-- I suspect there was seperate circuitry which
did nothing but count down and trip the relay when it reached zero,
provided you didn't press the power button before then.

It works if you give it LaserWriter file. Go to extensions, make an alias
of LaserWriter, drag that alias to System folder and name it LaserWriter.

Another way doing this is Laser Writer Utility from Apple. I cannot remember

I posted about the folder problem yesterday.  A few hours later, the
Macintosh software frequently asked questions (FAQ) posted, so I checked
on about the folder problem.  Here is follow message from FAQ.

----------
 WHY CAN'T I THROW AWAY THIS FOLDER?  (9.2)
 
       Possibly the folder contains items that are locked or in use
  and can't be thrown away.  Turn off file-sharing (if it's on) and
  quit all applications.  Then try to throw the folder away.  If that
  doesn't work and you're using System 6, hold down the option-key
  and drag the folder into the trash; or, if you're using System 7,
  hold down the option key while selecting "Empty Trash" from the
  special menu.  Holding the option key down lets you throw away
  locked items.  If that doesn't work restart the computer, hold down
  the option key, and try again.  If you still can't throw away the
  folder, try throwing away the items in the folder (if any) one by
  one until you find the ones giving you trouble.  Remove them from
  the folder, and then throw the folder away.  If you still can't
  throw the folder away, you've discovered a "Folder from Hell." 
  Create an empty folder on ANOTHER disk with the same name as the
  Hell Folder.  Then copy the new folder onto the same disk in the
  same folder as the Hell Folder.  Click "Yes" when asked if you want
  to replace the Hell Folder.  Now you should be able to throw the
  just copied folder away.
 
----------

I followed all of the processing, but it's failed.  Because it was kept
dialog appear.  Here is a few list of dialog that I recevied.

1.  The folder can't be deleted.  The folder are in use.

2.  The command could not be completed because the file not found.

3.  The command could not be completed because an error of type -127
    occurred.

4.  The command could not be completed because an error of type -1805
    occurred.

The last processing in FAQ appeared the dialog number 1 and 4.  Now,
what I do with the stupid folder?

NOTE:  -127 means Internal file system error.   I can't found -1805 on
the system errors 7.0.1

Reformatting gives you an empty disk, which you can then partition. The
default partitioning leaves the Apple Free partition.

Repartitioning always forces the volume to be initialized before it can
be used. I guess you were thinking about this.

The diagnosis that duplication of fonts in the System file and Fonts folder
is responsible for the increased RAM usage of 7.1 seems very plausible to
me.  However, the bug is surely not in Apple's Installer but in the SCRIPT
provided.  Surely all Apple would have to do is to make a revised script
or disk image available at ftp.apple.com and we could alter our Install

This probably isn't the only answer you'll receive, but...

Turn on 32-bit addressing in the Memory control panel to use more than 8 Megs
of memory. The extra in your machine (8 Megs) is added to your system
allotment
when you're in 24-bit mode.
