is it normal to have an absolutely black background for the Happy Mac icon during boot?
No! This is a Sad Mac, unless it's smiling. If it is, this is something new to me.
Sorry about the other question - no clue.

Hello Again Folks,
Now that we have established that the CRT's are compatible, I have a few
more questions...
I put the CRT and the yoke from the Classic into the Plus. I then made a
System 6 boot disk onto 800k DD from my SE/30 specifically for the Plus.
When I try to boot the Plus it hangs after I get a Happy Mac.
Though I have not formatted the my external drive to a 3:1 interleave, I do
not believe that the Plus wants to boot from SCSI either. I have cleaned the
heads on the floppy drive and I am very sure that the boot disk is good
After about 25 seconds of reading the floppy disk, the Plus just hangs with
the Happy Mac icon and does absolutely nothing from that point on. It never
gets to the Finder.
Also- is it normal to have an absolutely black background for the Happy Mac
icon during boot? I can't remember what its supposed to look like its been
so long!
Could I have bad ROM's?
Cheers, [w]
