It could be a variety of things, but it sounds like the problem started with a bad controller board for the Unidisk 3.5. Whatever it did, it took out some signifcant chips, and could have lunched ROM, RAM, the CPU, or any of the support chips. You may be able to diagnose a specific ROM or RAM problem by typing "control-closedapple-reset", and let the machines internal diagnostice give it a try. Regardless, it sounds like the machine is in serious need of a good service rep, and take the Unidisk and controller board too. --Rick Ewing Apple Atlanta

Those dealers were actually trying to do you a favor. UUCP: crash!pro-europa!samt ARPA: crash!pro-europa!samt@nosc.mil INET: samt@pro-europa.cts.com
