My 7100/80 had similar symptoms when it didn't like the RAM I installed. I tried pairs of various 16M SIMMs until I found a matched pair it liked. Then I went through just about every combination of 2 32M chips I had (since none of them were matched pairs) and finally did get a set that worked. I think the chips it didn't like work fine in other Macs, although the Nubus PowerMacs seem to prefer matched pairs. http://katsmacs.blogspot.com/ -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
