DOS cards - any for the LC Macs?

I was a cluster consultant in a room full of 6100s and music students would power the machines off, losing their work, all the time trying to eject floppies.
and they never did anything to address it?

I think someone eventually put sticky notes over all the power buttons haha.

I think on the DOS Compatible models, Apple started putting “on/off” silkscreen next to the power button.

I meant in the classroom, not by Apple themselves

I don't recall if it was a DOS model, but the only 6100s in my high school's labs had their outer button plastic caps removed, possibly for that reason. I highly doubt it was vandalism—many other Macs in our school and none of them were so much as markered upon.
