I don't know. I just stumbled on to it by trial and error. The 
centris with 7.5.5 is the only one of my machines (IIci, Centris 610 
(with full 68040), and a quadra 660) that shows this behavior. I 
don't know if it's the machine or the machine/mac os  combination 
that's the problem since I'm not sure what mac os I'm using on the 
others. I tend to use the  Network Access disk system since it's so 
small and most of my disks are 500 megs or less.

Any way, I glad it worked.
