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.
