We have been having an interesting problem here with a couple of Macintoshes
in a small lab here on campus.  Starting just a few days ago, we started having
problems with a Mac Plus and a Mac II.  They just refuse to boot up.  We can
insert a disk, the machine will smile, start to boot, then just quit and spit
the disk back out at us.  We originally thought that it was a virus, but I
do not think that this is the cause.  Reason: We realized that we were only
having trouble with these two machines; the Mac SE in the same room works fine
with the same disks.  But then we also look at it and wonder how we could
have a hardware problem with two machines at exactly the same time.  The odds
of that are kind of slim.  The Mac II has worked flawlessly for about 9 months
and the Plus has neven had a problem in the last 2 years.

Any ideas???
