I've had the same problem on 4 of our 5 new Mac II's with 80 Meg drives.
(I know I'm a pretty lucky guy.)  I can't get the problem to happen
on any of our older II's, and have not been able to isolate the application(s)
that are causing the problem. I remember seeing some message about outdated
ROMs on the hard disk itself, and I assume that the II's I have have the
new ROMs (with slot manager fixed). Those are my only leads towards a solution.

Who else is seeing this? Maybe Apple can comment if they've seen this
problem. I'm carring a utilities disk around in my pocket at all times.

Thanks for all responses!
