Comment: Hello,
Having problem w/ my mac floppy drive... when i insert a disk it freezes the computer.... so i was told to zap pram (didn't work) and then i also tried turning off extensions (when i do this it doesnt freeze, but it is unable to initialize the floppy)..... if anyone knows what's going on that'd be great. thanks!

Reply: (edit)Get thee to ramseeker.com and get some more RAM. I'm surprised 8.6 is even *running* in 32 MB. Is it the floppy that came with the Mac, or is it a USB-based external? p

Reply: (edit)Why does the lack of ram cause it to freeze when reading the A drive though? it's internal floppy, not usb btw. Thanks for the quick response!
