My thanks go out to Sunil Bhatla at CWRU and to Werner Uhrig of U Texas for
their input. They gave me the courage to go and poke around the inside of what
seemed to be a terminally sick Mac. Sunil had had the problem, but traced it
(possibly) to SIMMs. Werner's problem was solved by simply wiggling the cables
around, as mentioned in his post.

I would tend to agree with this theory of fixing, since I decided to stop
before I even got to the SIMMs. I decided that I wasn't terribly adept at this,
afterall. And so I gave up. So, if your Mac seems dead, wiggle them cables!

'later!

(Einstuerzende Neubaten), or call me nwc1 if you have problems with that.
