I'm getting Sad Mac Error 036000 on my Dad's pseudo-512ke. Any ideas? I am about to order him a new logic board. Please let me know if this is a good idea. Thanks, Jim

Quoting from the copy of _Hard Disk Encyclopedia_ i got from Jasmine with my DD45 (old style, the one that doesn't crash after a week!): "The characters below the unhappy Mac tells you what code has gone wrong. The first two indicates (sic) whether it is a software or hardware failure. 0F means some kind of software error and any other two characters means a hardware failure. 01 is a ROM failure while 02 to 05 are RAM errors. The last four digits show you which RAM chip is bad." unfortunately, the book does not have a diagram telling where chip 6000 is, but you need to get replacement RAM chip, not a whole new motherboard. I would just blow off getting a new board, and have a repair place test the RAM chips and put in a new one. >Thanks, >Jim You're welcome. Ted (sleezy@snowwhite.cc.utexas.edu) sleezy--the eighth dwarf
