Help. I turn on my brand new Mac+ and it continually beeps at me. No frowning Mac, nothing. Just beep, beep, beep. What have I done to it? I presume it's failing some sort of internal test. I should mention that after building a cable so I could attach it to my modem, I fried two modems last week. I think my cable was a bit flakey :-). Have any of you folks experienced this?

This might cause the symptoms you describe. I thought my new upgrade was dead the other day, and that was all it was! Kim Helliwell hplabs!analog!kim
