Anyone ever heard of the printer cable on a beige G3/266 connected from the printer port to the modem port? My stepdaughter accidentally did this on her G3, thus forming a diabolical loop. She then started the G3. (Makes you wince, doesn't it?) This has resulted in the startup procedure stopping after one or two extensions are loaded with a blank error window appearing. During my examination I once saw words in the error message, stating "system failure, illegal instruction".
DiskWarrior and Disk First Aid say all is well. I have thus assumed it is a hardware problem. Looks like it will have to go in for repairs. Anyone have any suggestions ... comments? Vlad James
