Anyone seen this? I just spent a few hours upgrading one of my Mac's with a
bunch of new stuff and made major changes to the System Folder. When I went
in to back up the changes with DiskFit (release 1.4.1) it kept hanging while
trying to load in floppies from the backup set.

Reading/writing floppies at the finder level is no problem. Neither is
reading/writing DiskFit backups under unifinder (which is what I finally did
after half a dozen tries, re-installing Diskfit and System, removing inits,
etc, etc, etc). If I run it under Unifinder, it works. Multifinder, no.

The same revisions of software are all working on the other Mac, with no
problem, of course.

And idea what it might be? A floppy drive going flakey? A corrupted file
somewhere? Bad karma?
