Roy, I'm another one who seems to be having "lock-up" problems that are very similar to Jim's. They started a little after installing RSLClock into my system. I thought I could give you a little more information to work with as a lock-up occurred only today and the circumstances are still pretty fresh in my mind. My system contains; 512K A1000, 3.5" DF0:, 5.25" DF1: which is the SYS: device and contains C:,LIBS:, and a SYSTEM directory (Path added). That's about it. My lockups have only occurred from the CLI (rarely use Workbench) and occur upon disk removal/insertion, have no idea which. After inserting the disk the red light on/offed as usual but the console was dead, this includes the mouse pointer. A three-fingered salute DOES result in the normal warm-boot, at least it did today. The only programs run since cold-boot were Temacs (viewed text files only, no writes or popclis) and the system commands, Dir, List, Copy, and Rename, etc. I no longer keep the free disk space report enabled after I found out it was causing the requestors although I occasionally bring it down. It was NOT enabled at the time of the freeze. My command file for the clock is; Run RSLClock132 LONG HIGHLIGHT 0 COLORS 2,1 I hope some of this can be of help to you. If you need to know anything else, just yell. Take it as a compliment that people bother to "complain". Most PD stuff I just yank at the first sign of problems, not this one! BTW, is the clock freeware or do I owe you? -Jeff P.S. I also have had times where the disk light stayed on, but not recently so I can't remember the exact circumstances.
