Sooner or later (probably later), I'd like to buy a second, used, Mac+. Before I buy used equipment, I'd like to know whether it works. I have only one piece of diagnostic software--it puts up a test pattern and lets you check whether straight lines are really straight, etc. (I don't remember the name, but I think I got it on a "free" PowerUser's disk from MacWarehouse.) I also have MacEnvy, which tells me which model Mac I have, how much memory is installed, and several related details. And, of course, the Mac itself runs a *brief* memory check on bootup. Is this all there is? Isn't there any software that will do any more extensive checking, of the Mac and/or any peripherals that might be attached? Or do I just have to figure that if it boots at all, that's good enough? (BTW, I have been reading the net for some time now, and I have seen this question posted before. I just never saw any answers.) -- Dave Matuszek (dave@prc.unisys.com) -- Unisys Corp. / Paoli Research Center / PO Box 517 / Paoli PA 19301 -- Any resemblance between my opinions and those of my employer is improbable. << Those who fail to learn from Unix are doomed to repeat it. >>
