When I start my Mac IIx, instead of booting I get a scale of one long chime followed by four shorter ones, rising in pitch. Does anyone know what this means? The Mac was shipped cross country recently, maybe this caused it? I tried obvious things like using the reset button,reseating internal connectors, and trying to boot with everything disconnected except for power. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gary Carvell --- Gary Carvell gww@g.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu

I've had the same problem once with a Mac II, and it went away when I reseated the Memory SIMMS. Either your memory has jogged loose, or you've a broken a trace in the SIMM, or there's a dead (not just flaky) memory chip on one of your simms. -- John Randolph via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!109!411!John.Randolph INET: John.Randolph@f411.n109.z1.FIDONET.ORG
