Thank you, Bruce. On a 3400 related note, are you or anyone else aware that the OS 9 installer HDD driver update changes some code in the ROM? I would like to restore the original ROM settings in a bid to heal my sickly 3400. I remember a flasher utility that could do this, as long as you had a copy of the original settings. Thx George
No. the ROM in a 3400 (and all macs prior to the B&W G3's) is really just that, a read only memory chip, not alterable at all.
The HDD updater alters things in the boot sector(s) of the HDD, and perhaps something in the PRAM.
PRAM can be reset by booting up while holding down the command-option-p-r keys.
In severe cases the PRAM batteries need to be removed overnight.
