I know this is truly a MINOR problem, but it's driving me buggy!  Any help

I've been trying to change the name and icon of my Hard Drive for a while 
and for some reason I just can't do it!  At first I thought it was because
I had file sharing turned on, but I've turned it off and even removed the
file sharing extention to no avail.  I've tried booting with another disk
and changing the hard drive, and that didn't work either.  My bet is that
the hard drive is "locked" somehow, but I can't find what's doing it.  

Like I said, ANY help would be appreciated.  Thanks much in advance!

Hi all,

  I'm looking to get a Daystar Powercache for my IIci.  My question is this:  
If I get an accelerator WITHOUT an FPU will the processor still take advantage 
of the old (25mhz) FPU or will the processor act as if there is no FPU at all?

  Is this true with the IIvx too?

  Is a slower FPU better than none at all?

  Please email and I will summerise...

I have been having an unusual problem.  I have System 7.0.1 and a Macintosh
Classic with 4/40.  Whenever I place a DA on my System Folder the usual 
message comes up saying that the item will be moved to the Apple Menu Items
folder.  But when I try to use the DA that I have just put in, the computer
says that the DA doesn't exist.  When I go to the Apple Menu Items folder, the 
DA is gone.  I have also tried restarting the machine before trying the DA, but
it still disappeared.  Even when I manually put it in the Apple Menu Items 
folder, it disappeared after shutting off the machine and starting it up again.
Finally, I put the actual DA in a separate folder, locked it, aliased it, put
the alias in the Apple Menu Items folder, and locked it.  This seems to work.
Does anyone know why I should have this much trouble trying to get a DA on my
system?

Wait just a minute - this seems like an awfully serious error. Don't you
think that if AutoDoubler crashed every time the status button was clicked,
people would notice and complain? 

(Has anyone else had this problem?)

I'm not doubting that AutoDoubler crashes on your Mac, but that's not the
same thing as saying that AutoDoubler is buggy. What system and extensions
are you running? Have you tried reinstalling your system software?

You haven't installed or repaired memory/hd/floppy in the near past?  I
can think of a HARDWARE reason for an SE to restart on floppy insert-
it would involve a dual floppy SE with an internal HD piggybacked onto
the floppies.

  Something about if you run with 5 megs there's only 1 meg in bank A you can 
set your RAM cashe to something and thing will be faster.  But, if you have 8 
megs the ci might be slower 'cause there's 4 megs in bank A.  If you have a 
video card installed then blaa blaa blaa ad nauseum.

  Could somebody email me with a rundown of the problem/its fixes/and things

Hello,
	I use Maxima off and on mainly when I run up against some older
progrmas that are 32-bit dirty. It works quite well and it largely transparent.
I do ave a problem with it locking up my system upon choosing RESTART from
the Specials menu. Without fail no matter if I'm using all of my INITs or none
of my INITs it will lock up the system. Strangely enough this doesn't happen
if I choose SHUTDOWN! Other Than that it works great. On other thing is that
it can be a little confusing because when you choose About this Macinotsh to
get an idea of the available RAM left, it shows only the largest availble
contiguous block of RAM not the full amount you have left. Thus it might
show that you have only 5500k left out of 14meg. But as that block is used
it will show you the next largest contiguous block and you eventually get
to use your full 14meg. I hope this helps...

I believe (though I may be mistaken) that what the original post was asking

Apple still has not developed a driver for the SW which will do this -- they
claim that you can get halftones from any program which does the halftoning
itself (which are very few and often limited -- PageMaker only halftones
TIFF images). If I print a color image from Canvas, for instance (or one with
Canvas' grayscale fill pattern -- or any pattern, for that matter) the color
image comes out mostly black (non-white colors print as black), and the fills
are low resolution (the pattern is bitmapped at 72dpi rather than the SW's
360dpi).
I've been meaning to check into the BetterWriter drivers -- anyone know
first hand if they can do what Apple has seen fit not to?

my attention.  Before I dash out and purchase one, I have a
few questions for all you Mac Gurus.  

1.  Does a PB145 have a 68030 25 mhz with a 68882 co-processor.
2.  Is the screen size (actually the pixel density) equivalent
    to that of a 12 or 13 inch monitor ?
3.  Is it easily (and inexpensively) upgradeable from 4 megs ->
    8 megs ?
4.  Any reasons why I should not/should purchase a PB 145.

-Thanks
