Once had a similar problem with my 2300 in a Duo Dock II. Turned out to be a bad keyboard. Booted fine by itself. Booted fine with only a mouse connected to the ADB. -- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables. FAQ at

Sam, Inquiring minds need to know, first off did you first get a happy mac, starting up screen and then the sad mac tones? (which may indicate a system curruption - a exception error where your machine is unable to load all the system code into memory, try booting from a floppy before jumping

In answer to both posts... I had a happy mac, then came the sad mac. I tried to reboot several times, but no cigar. I'm out of town right now, but when I get back home tomorrow I'll reseat the ram as suggested and try to boot from floppy to see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the sugges

up... I no longer had a sad mac. I had a flashing question mark instead. I'm afraid the hard drive might be completely lost. When I boot up from floppy in my dock, I can't "see" the hard drive at all. Any suggestions? --sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] said at Ò[Duo2400] Re: Sad Mac.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm pretty sure I didn't break the hard drive cable. Besides, I started getting the Sad Mac BEFORE I opened the 2300 to reseat the RAM. Any other suggestions? --sam Paul Nelson said at Ò[Duo2400] Re: Sad Mac... HELP!!!Ó. [12/28/2001 13:09] > You'

Maybe, but I've been running a couple Duos that I don't do date-sensitive stuff on without PRAM batteries at all for a year or so. If it's corrupted, a simple zap should fix things. Scott Holder At 04:24 PM 4/24/2002 -0500, you wrote: >Is it possible that I have a dead PRAM battery? On a MacIn
