Re: Pismo disaster - please help!
Pressing down hard on the processor to reseat it with the upper RAM chip installed is not good for the RAM chip or the slot that holds the RAM, so I hope that was not happening. Also, in every hard drive replacement guide I have seen for the Pismo, the processor must be removed to access the hard drive (see Pismo User Manual and Service Source manual), so that part was okay. As Kyle said get a new RAM chip and see how that works.

Network Time Error?
Hi, Gang! I've just received the following error message for about the sixth time in the last 24 hours: Network Time Error The Date Time control panel cannot open Open Transport. Use the system software CD to reinstall the Open Transport software. Why would this error message have come up? Does this mean that part of my OS, or worse, my entire OS, is screwed up? Is this advice valid? I'm on a Wallstreet II 233 with 256MB of ram, running OS 9.2.2. I believe that I got to 9.2.2 via an updater from 9x, and I'm not sure whether the Open Transport software has varied from subversion to subversion. Do I need to reinstall the entire OS?

Re: Network Time Error?
It means that the control panel can't connect to the internet to do a time check. If you can use Netscape and/or check your email then Open Transport is working properly. Or possibly you're dialing up through AOL or the like and therefore bypassing Open Transport. You may have to connect to the internet manually or automatically by launching your browser or email application first. Once you're connected then launch your date/time control panel and do a time check. John Hi, Gang!
