-- To all who responded Thank you all for your input on this, especially Mark Ginn for your detailed clarification. One of the problems on the SE/30 that I'm going to try to fix is a checkerboard display and an "automatic" shutdown and restart cycle. So if I have to dig down in this, and I never have in a compact before, I will discharge myself and the CRT. dan_A -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
