Re: Wallstreet Woes -- Commiserators welcome

[Matt Halter]

I would suggest 1) resetting the pram 3 times.  2) Reset Power manager. 
 3) Reseat ram chips and processor.  4) Pull one ram chip at a time and 
try the computer with the other chip to test them.  5) Sometimes a 
failing keyboard can cause strange symptoms on the Wallstreet.  These 
steps have all cured similar problems on my Wallstreet II.

Hi Wallstreet users:

I've been pleased as punch with my wallstreet -- until recently. I had 
it
about a year; added a super fast 60 gb hard drive, 512 mb RAM, was 
running
OS 10.2.6 successfully (albeit a bit slow) and then...

Then, one day it woke up and decided to function only occasionally. I
started getting the "flashing floppy with the question mark in the 
center"
instead of the happy mac (or the white apple of OS 10)...

I've tried reinstalling OS 10, deleting OS 10, lots of things, like
formatting and partitioning the hard drive again.
But despite all my best efforts, the unit continues to have 
difficulty. I've
done away with OS 10 completely. Running OS 9.2.2 (or 9.1 on the other
partition) and am running extensions I know are compatible on my other 
mac
units. Yet the computer continues to have intermittent freeze ups-- 
well not
really intermittent-- I can count on at least once a day.

I've gone back to using my pb 1400; but I'd like to use the wallstreet 
again
someday, due to bigger screen, and especially, enough RAM to run 
photoshop.

If anyone has experienced similar wallstreet woes, and has an answer, 
I'm
all ears. Of if this situation "sounds familiar" maybe you have a
suggestion.

Thanks to all
Sid
