Did you, Jim, solve your problem or not? And what was the problem? Never mind what some software said it was (these things are rarely right in difficult circumstances), what did you do to solve it successfully - if anything -if I may ask. I have a problem of my own on my 7600 (which requires a lot of quich successive restarts every morning to boot fully. It then remains stable all day long, don't worry about my prob for the moment) David Elmo David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
