The battery (and entire board) was taken from a 160. It worked en that machine yesterday, so I would think it would work in my 180 today. > > The symptoms point to the battery, although that should affect ALL settings > associated with your PRAM.

I tried to install SuperClock!, but no change :-( BTW I tested the machine with TechTool Pro 2.5, it found two errors in the FPU (the log2 and exp2 operations, they may be unsupported), _all_ other tests passed (RAM, ROM, chipset etc.) And for Paul Nelson: It was a fresh reinstall of the system, from the downloadeble 7.5.3 cd image, updated to 7.5.5 (with 4 floppys). I didn't reformat the HD though. Thanks for the help so far! Magnus -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
