Does anyone have an accurate list of all SCSI drives that work as font
storage devices with the LaserWriter II NTX?  Has anyone had experience
with specific drives, good or bad?  Any relevant hints or tips?

Why would the Earth and Boot Logger inits be incompatible?  Earth is an
init that changes the apple symbol in the menu bar into a spinning planet
earth, and Boot Logger is an init that appends a line to a file called
Boot Log with the date and time each time your machine is started up.
Earth causes a system error (ID=01), but ONLY when Boot Logger executes
before it (I haven't tried renaming them to reorder them).  Theoretically,
Boot Logger does one thing and then leaves memory.  Why might these two
inits, which don't do things even REMOTELY similar to one another, be
incompatible?
