A friend just got a new G3 PowerMac.  Yesterday, I helped him installing
the beast.  A couple of odd things happened:

[1] A MacOS disk (we had an LCIII there) w/ files on it would mount as am
_empty PC_ disk on the G3!

[2] A bunch of MSWord 5.1 files ---transferred via AppleTalk--- with
*.text names would show as PC files.

My guess for [2] is that there is probably a default translator acting
somewhere; I have no clue what could cause [1].

Thanks for any suggestions!  Feliz Navidad -E  edley@fedea.es
