I've found that when you hold the mouse down on booting (i.e. to eject a 
floppy disk), if you have an Emac HD (only tested with two models on two
mac Plusses), you get a sad mac (id 0f0002, I think).  Can anybody out there
explain, or get this to happen on their machine?  I'm curious to see if it
is just the plus and this particular hd, or any mac and this hd, or what...

Thanks...
