Classic is an evironment which emulates OS 9 under OS X. Therefore, it's quite natural to see different behaviours -- especially when it comes to hardware, which is controlled in a very different manner. Solution? You know it -- enable extensions one by one (or use the half-and-half method) until you locate the troublesome one. I'd begin with hardware enablers or controllers. f
