Description:
When I insert a floppy it says it is unreadable and do I want to intialize it? Then it fails and says the floopy is damaged. the floppy is fine. My initial reserch at Mac product support is a bad drive.
However, I've recently been messing with my extensions to reclaim memory and wonder if I could have messed something up. I went to OS 8.0 choice for extensions in the extension manager and it still didn't work. Have I done everything I can? I'm still under warranty but the closest place is and hour and a half away.

Hi Jan and welcome to No Wonder!
Are you using RAM Doubler?
Have you tried booting with extensions off?
If there is no change...it looks like it is a hardware problem - you'll have to take it an Apple dealer to get it fixed.
Cheers
