Our Mac has exhibited a strange problem.  We made backups of the system and
      macWrite/MacPaint disks so that our users could demo/evaluate the
      programs without permenantly erasing something.  All was fine for 2
      weeks.  Then the system disk copy began exhibiting strange behavior
      whereby the name field of the disk icon would become filled with
      a's  and r's and the keyboard would lockup.  When I put the original
      system disk in to try to erase the backup and make another copy the
      problem migrated to it also.  Then, to make matters worse, we tried
      the MacWrite/MacPaint backup and it migrated there also.  (Sound like
      a keyboard pia problem???   Any ideas??

[Aren't you hungry...?]

	Disk heads need to be cleaned once in a while - particularly so in the
Mac which provides no airflow, resulting in dust collection.

	This may not help, but it sounds like your disk heads may have
problems.
