As a quick point, I believe I was recently trying to install and EN/SC on a Classic II with a dead PRAM batt. I also was having trouble, and ISTR it hanging when I made the switch from Localtalk to Ethernet. Hopefully, by the time you get this, the reset PRAM batt will have helped. I've been using a Plus off an on, unnetworked, without a PRAM batt for years without a problem. > > Maybe I need to reinstall the OS and everything else from scratch again, > because even after zapping the PRAM again, it still won't let me switch > to EtherTalk. Well, it tries to let me, but it still locks up. :(
Can y'all help me out here? When the PRAM battery is dead, you really don't need to reset your PRAM, do you? Isn't it essentially reset every time power is removed (i.e., shutdown)? I was under the impression that the reason for resetting your PRAM was because the data, stored in PRAM and maintained by the power from the battery, had become corrupted and needed to be reset. AM I wrong? Cheers, Rich -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
