So, my GS is sick. I run the self test on it and get this nice cryptic
number back:
System Bad: 093B7200
Anyone out there know what this means? There isn't a list of these codes
in the GS Owners manual, which isn't too surprising, but there also isn't
one in the Hardware Reference manual, which did surprise me. I also
can't find a technote that sheds any light on the matter.
I imagine that it has something to do with the sound area of things, as
Soundsmith won't run anymore, and it used to. (and I've got 3 megs of memory)
Sooo, can anyone help me?

(00 means there was not a problems generating the checksum.) You might want to try disconnecting your keyboard, mouse, and any other ADB peripherals to see if they (and not the motherboard) are the source of the problem. > Chan Wilson -- cwilson@nisc.sri.com <!> I don't speak for SRI.

In-Reply-To: message from cwilson@NISC.SRI.COM Chan, that number looks VERY familiar... If I remember correctly, the 09 means that it is an Apple Desktop Bus error. i.e. your keyboard or mouse or trackball, etc is bad. In my case, I was trying to use an OLD Kensington Turbo Mouse with a ROM 3 IIGS. Anyway, to figure out which ADB device is bad, just pull them all and then run the self-test each time you re-attach a device (don't forget to turn off your computer before you plug/unplug something!) To run the self-test with no keyboard attached, use a joystick (the fire buttons correspond to the Command and Option keys on the keyboard.) Hope that helps. Diz -My- Name: Steven W.
