On a Beige, it takes at last TEN cycles of Cmd-Opt-P-R to completely clear the PRAM. This fact was discovered during beta testing of OS X on a Beige, wherein the install process would often disable one of the on-board EIDE controllers. If it disabled the EIDE controller on which your, say, OS 9 boot drive was located, then your machine was unusable unless you had an external device from which to boot, or you manually transferred your OS 9 drive to the other EIDE controller. Resetting the PRAM using software is not a substitute for TEN Cmd-Opt-P-R sequences. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
