Coral Allegro Common Lisp appears pretty nifty, but the dialog
designer can be hazardous to your Mac II's health.  Using with a
SuperMac Spectrum color board, strange things happened -- random
shifts in color.  Then, POW, the system crashed.  Now it won't boot.  Not
from a floppy, not from the hard disk, period.  No control-shift-etc
magic seems to help.  Maybe parameter RAM is screwed up, but since it
won't even boot from a floppy (it just turns itself off after about 1
second) there is no way to do the command-shift-option-control panel
trick.  

So, back to the dealer, who will undoubtably insist we buy a new
motherboard.  Any other suggestions?
