Have been following this thread with interest as I have a WallStreet II and a recent, suddenly dead battery (no lights at all), that Battery Reset cannot revive. When you insert the battery the WallStreet recognises it as a battery for about a minute, then decides it can't charge it and the menu bar and Mac OS 9 Control Strip indicator changes to no battery installed. I could not boot into OF with a restart, although I remember being in OF once in the distant past. Following Mikael's post about shutting down first, I tried it and Open Firmware came up first try :-) Unfortunately no change in my dead battery (yet). Maybe it is really dead. Perhaps it is due to the fact I left the computer unpowered for 3 months... Mike Turner -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
