I recently asked MacDTS on Applelink for the Parameter RAM record on the MacII in order to write an INIT to set public workstation lab MacII PRAM correctly after someone has come along and messed it up (node #, Ethertalk, cache off, etc) - general sanitizing during boot. Their answer was that "PRAM is reserved for Apple's use along with all of low memory, and noone should touch it except through the control panel. That's why it's not documented in IM 5 or the TNs". Sound familiar? Rather tiresome. A better answer would be "Here's the record, understand that it can and will change". So, anyone know what it is? In IM II p 370 the record for classic Macs is there, but the Ethertalk stuff etc for IIs seems to be in an extension somewhere, not contiguous. The Ethertalk ref doesn't have it either...
