Wade, second things first: Pyro! works erraticaly with MF. Stay tuned for a patch/upgrade from Software Supply. I was under the impression that the [control-]command-shift-option trick only worked on SEs and IIs. In any event, you lucky Plus people can pop the battery for a spell to zap that PRAM. Maybe it worked before because you were using a System installed for an SE? (Dumb guess.) I doubt that there's any hardware problem. -- Maurice Weitman ..!{dual,hplabs,lll-crg,ptsfa,glacier}!well!mo | <- this is not a pipe POBox 10019 Berkeley, CA 94709 (415)549-0280 Quote: "If we're not listening, we'd have to be pretty blind."
