IMHO, you should check the voltage on the replacement Battery before going any farther.
More than once, I've found new replacement items to be faulty or incorrect. I've a sad tale, from the distant memories of my misspent youth, about many hours wasted with a 1940 Ford transmission and the replacement Main Drive input gear shaft ... which 2 days later, turned out to be a pick-up truck Main Drive ... with just a few degrees difference in the helical slant of the gear teeth. With all assembled, the shaft would turn 7/8 of the way around and then the trans would lock up :=( RHB j m wrote: > > --- j m <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > RE: PTP200, level 2 1M cache; 192 mb ram; OS 9. > > Started having "corrupt PRAM symptoms" couldn't zap, > > etc. lost video display sometimes, etc. found out > > pram battery was dead; replaced it.
