Lines: 33 I know, you hear it all the time. This time I think I have a good one. System: 1. system 6.0.5 2. added heap space (256K Finder, 1500K System) 3. 4 meg ram 4. Macpassword, init-cdev 3.0, quickmail, sundesk icons, superclock, blackbox, Apple CD-ROM, deskpict, public folder. 5. Running multifinder 6.1b9 Symptoms: (started last week) 1. Applications frequently quit unexpectedly. (i.e. running microsoft word leave desk with two documents open, come back and find box saying msword quit unexpectedly.) 2. Intermitently unable to receive dynamic KIP numbers from the network (inconsistent to prove this is linked) 3. Screen suddenly turns to the best snow this side of the rockies. 4. On startup, intermitently get fast escalating tones and half screen black, half screen white. How is this for a list? Hope someone out there might be able to help. If you have a suggestion, please email me. Thanks for your help. Charles Did I forget to mention that it was a mac II? (classic!) Today it crashed once again while I was working on it. Minimum inits(blackbox, superclock, macpassword, init-cdev), working in ncsa telnet... suddenly short horizontal lines flash on the screen with a little buzzing, then lockup. I try to restart using programmers key and get "minor chord" then slow escalating tones. For about an hour it wouldn't let me even boot it, kept getting tones. Hour is up and suddenly mac is raised from the dead. -- !===========================================================================! ! Charles H.
