Is this coincidence or not? I was trying to create a local ethernet network between two PowerBook G3 Wallstreets with the WRONG cable (not a crossover cable). In those attempts I was getting errors, freezes, and then a BOMB error/freeze/ crash.
When I forced restarted the Wallstreet I got an RAM error message and after that the 256MB RAM module would only put out 128MB. It had suddenly lost 1/2 of its capacity. Then, the next time I tried to use the Zip 100 drive in the right side expansion bay, the drive make a horrible sound and no longer works right. I have had that Zip drive for years, kept it in a plastic bag, and only used it a few times and now suddenly it goes to heck. You can see what I'm getting at. Is it possible that the bomb/crash I got when hooking up the wrong ethernet cable and then trying to network two Wallstreets caused the destruction of both the RAM module and the Zip drive? Is that possible? Or are these parts going to heck just a coincidence?
