Westford MA. Lines: 11 I got an SOS from my nephew in California last night. He has a MAC IIcx and perhaps got a bit too adventurous for his own good. Apparently he was playing around with his parameter ram and now finds that he cannot boot - indeed, cannot even boot from a SYSTEM FLOPPY. He believes the problem is tied up with the DA called Suitcase. He suspects that his system floppy has Suitcase and that the values in that DA now do not agree with what is on hard disk. Both he and I will be most grateful for any help.
