I have recently gotten hold of a 3B2/300 running system V. Upon trying to boot the machine I get the following: FW ERROR 1-01: NVRAM SANITY FAILURE DEFAULT VALUES ASSUMED IF REPEATED, CHECK THE BATTERY FW ERROR 1-02: DISK SANITY FAILURE Any ideas? I in the process of getting a new battery to see if that solves the problem.

More than likely just means that it was unplugged longer than the battery could hold up NVRAM. Once you get past your 2nd problem, NVRAM will be automaticly rebuilt and if you power off again and it comes up with the same error on power up, THEN you probably have a dead battery. > FW ERROR 1-02: DISK SANITY FAILURE This means that your disk has lost its sanity track information. Assuming the disk has not physicaly crashed, can be rebuilt using 'devtools' and some versions of 'dgmon'. Sounds more than likely that your disk or interface has bought the big one :-{ -- | R.
