Is there a way to or a need to Zap the PRAM in system 7.0 ? I have tried the system 6.0.5 way, but to no avail! Thanks to all ! Ty

Indeed there is, and it's rather cool. Hold down Cmd-Opt-P-R just
after restart and keep the four keys held down until the machine
restarts again.

It's a feature of the IIci, IIfx, LC, and IIsi ROMs, not of system 7. If you have something a bit older, it'll just ignore you... And is there a need to zap PRAM? Well, I haven't had to on any of the machines I've installed 7.0 onto. steve -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steve Christensen Never hit a man with glasses. stevec@apple.com Hit him with a baseball bat.

I presume this code executes before Macsbug's loaded? Also, does this mean that holding down Cmd-Opt-P-R on any of the above CPUs running 6.x will also zap PRam and then restart? ______________________________________________________________________ Stephan Somogyi net.nerd MacUser
