[Duo2400] Re: Duo 270c: 8 chime grief
Hi, don't throw it out. Maybe sell it on ebay if anything. I don't have a duo but am looking for one. But I am not technician, if I were I would probably buy it off you. Anyway let me know what you have. You can mail me off list if you wish.

It seems as if the 8 tone chime has something to do with faulty RAM. Paul Nelson -- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.

Hi Chris, I am sorry, I 'm almost embarrassed by my statements. Paul may be right, try removing the RAM. If you just installed RAM then yes it may be that.
