What got me wondering on this subject was how zapping the pram seems to normalize communication between mac and hard drive _in some cases anyways_. So I got to wondering hows that work, and what info is placed in the pram when a drive is formated. So that got me wondering what other info could be placed there, perhaps forgoing some items. (Like a Gamba boot floppy image :O of course I'm refering to using Gamba's creative process....not that 7xxK will fit in the pram!) I was wondering if something like that could be used to creatively prepare the mac for booting min. systems, or boot straping with Penguin semi-automatically.... I know I must be I'm moofing up the wrong directory but my excuse is that I still know absolutely nothing about what's _really_ in my mac ;( Any urls gratefully accepted :) ...still "pramPrep" and "pramPrep's Penguin* Partner" c)scb 2002 ;)... yes, I know I really _should_ be sleeping at 2:30am... but I'm having fun with blackbird scb ps how 'bout pramPrep PRAM Expansion boards... ok, ok, goodnight.... scb -- Scott Barber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- "I'm a designated passenger on the Information Super Highway" "Are we there yet?" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
