Brought my 9600/200 home from work (OS 9.1, Sonnet 400mHz G3, 1.5gb RAM, GOOD PRAM battery, 3 HDs with lots of space...
It was working OK at work, with the occasional malf probably due to the low battery. Brought it home, swapped in a newish battery from my 6116 (this is a good battery) and set the 2 Macs up to exchange files via the printer ports (for some reason the ethernet dongle connection wasn't going to work with the 9600, though it worked fine between 6116 & 7500). As soon as I tried to copy my Eudora system folder across BOTH Macs crashed. After restart the 6116 was fine, but the 9600 crashed on every startup (about 20 attempts or more); if I tried I'd get as far as trying to open an application before it crashed, though it would crash anyway shortly after the desktop icons appeared. The thing would freeze, though the cursor was still movable. There's no new software on the 9600, no physical changes... only the settings required for connscting the 2 machines. Due to the crashes I cannot even change the settings or try any problem-solving software. Any ideas out there? The only thing I can think of is that there was a clunk from the back of the wagon on the way home, and all I can think was that the 9600 slid across the floor and hit the tailgate fairly hard at one point. However I tried checking the seating of all visible connectors and cards... tried the CUDA switch too. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
