[comp.sys.apple] GS Control-panel not responding; any ideas?

rupp@cod.NOSC.MIL (William L. Rupp) (10/24/88)

I am using an IIe upgraded to a IIGS.  Actually, it's a pre-release
machine with (I guess) a proto-type board.  Anyway, all of a sudden, the
control panel does not save any of the changes I make in the settings
(date, processor speed, etc.).  I thought it might be a bad battery, but
the battery has been replaced, and the problem is still there.

Since the default setting for slot 7 (all settings are now frozen on
defaults) is "your card", I am able to use my old 5.25" controller card
there.  Otherwise I would be unable to access many files stored on the
5.25" disks.

I talked with a technician at an authorized Apple dealer, and he was
comletely puzzled about this.  He says he has never heard of such a
thing.

Anybody have any ideas?  I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,
Bill
