Could someone tell me what a blue screen mean on bootup. I have a B2000 and
on powerup I only get a blue screen. Is this ROM failure? Thanks for any
help.

You know what's it like when you need something :-) Hope I'm right. Sorry for you, Pete.

Is this ROM failure? Thanks for any >help. A Blue screen indicates an error in the custom chips. The other colors are as follows : RED: Error in the ROMs GREEN: Error in the CHIP RAM YELLOW: An error in the 68000 before a GURU could kick in. I believe that these are correct and if anyone KNOWS better, please let the world know. *********************************************************** * Jeff Davis * Relax!

To wit: Dark gray Ok Hardware Light gray Ok Software Red Bad ROM Checksum Green Bad RAM Blue Bad Custom Chips Yellow Exception There's another copy of the chart, Pete. Good luck, Neil. /* Rick Plavnicky ...!sun!cup.portal.com!plav -or- plav@cup.portal.com */
