if anyone has seen the following problem and has as an explanation for
this strange behavior, please send me mail:

	hardware:
		1 Mb SE w/ 2 floppies
		2 Mb Mac+
		DataFrame XP20 disk
	software:
		system 4.2/6.0/1.0

we wanted to do some machine shuffling and wanted to take the disk off
of the Plus and put it on the SE.  The SE wouldn't boot (sad Mac
with 0000000F and 00000002) from the hard disk, and when it was booted from
a floppy, a bomb (id = 2) would appear when the finder was trying to display
the disk's icon. we tried different scsi cables, both scsi ports, deleting
the desktop file on the hard disk, zapping the PRAM and finally gave up. The
SE will work with other DataFrames and the DataFrame that wouldn't work
will work on different machines.

		any insight gratefully accepted, i will post a
		summary if interest warrants or forward responses
		to anyone who so requests,
