Help! My Mac appears to be *DEAD* !!!
I was repartitioning my hard disk and was rebooting the system over and
over (maybe 5-8 times) to make sure the newly installed changes took effect
and to switch system files between the standard System Tools disk and one
of mine that has a minimal system, fastback and silverlining.
I thought I was all set and had the "correct" disk driver setup and went to
reboot the system from floppy to start the disk restore from floppies and
what I get is the blank screen before putting up the "happy floppy" and then
my monitor goes dark and I get this musical chime which is different than
the startup chime.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong, and what I have to do. I'm desperate!
Oh yes, it's a Mac IIx with the apple hi-res color monitor and 8-bit video
card for the same monitor from Apple. I have 8-meg of memory installed.
I did try swapping the memory in banks a & b but the response appears the same
(or so close that I'm not sure of any differences).
Please Email to Carl@tardis.tymnet.com as I'm way behind on reading this news
group. I'm also about to go on vacation next week and need some stuff from
my mac... (although since it's on floppies, I can try to get it from another
mac by then if this has to go to the shop.) Please tell me there's something
that I can do.
