Our local Mac IIci just started some strange behavior. If you shutdown,
it completely shuts down, including power supply (all the lights go off),
then restarts itself about 1 second later. Anyone seen this type of behavior?
This is a IIci with the following other hardware:
Syquest removable 45 Mb drive
Microtek 24 bit scanner
Kurta tablet
Supermac 24 bit card w/accelerator
I doubt the above has anything to do with it, as unhooking it and turning off
all inits doesn't cure the problem.

Take a look at page 104 in the Macintosh IIci Owner's Guide where it states: 1. With the system turned off, insert a paper clip into the notch in the power switch. 2. Press the power switch in and turn it 90 degrees clockwise. The manual states that "This feature is provided primarily for specialized applications, such as when the computer is used as a file server." I'll bet . . . . . David Baird University of Chicago

If you don't like this, turn the screw to open the switch. Graeme Gerrard Faculty of Music University of Melbourne AUSTRALIA
