I recall reading in MacWeek that Mac IIs of a certain vintage do not work with PMMUs. The screen remains blank. It doesn't boot. So I plugged in my 68851 today. Surprise! Blank screen. So, does anyone know Apple's policy on this issue? What serial numbers would have been affected? -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu <<-- damn.

Apple's stated policy for these early Mac IIs is supposed to be a FREE motherboard swap at your nearby friendly Apple dealer (I haven't tested this personally). From what I've heard, there is no way to determine by the serial number which Macs are affected. ------------------------------- Robert Dominy NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Surprise! Blank screen. Apple's stated policy for these early Mac IIs is supposed to be a FREE motherboard swap at your nearby friendly Apple dealer (I haven't tested this personally). From what I've heard, there is no way to determine by the serial number which Macs are affected. Now for the real question. Is this "free" motherboard new or "refurbished?" I can't stand the thought of inheriting someone else's abuse and/or neglect.
