<snip> > > yup. did all that except a new battery. the battery is still good > AFAIK. i haven't tried to use the floppy with extensions off, so i'll > give that a spin. thanx. i tried it, and it seems dead :-(. it was giving me problems b4 i had installed either RAM doubler OR conflict catcher... it had been working again for a long time, but when i had a corrupt disk driver a little while back, the floppy drive decided to not work anymore <sigh>. anyone got a 1,4 floppy drive for real cheap? ;-P simon FYI coming up---- just in case it happens to someone, i'll pass on this info the driver problem was fixed this way: put the HDD w/ the bad driver inside an external box, then started the box up AFTER the rest of the system; DID NOT mount the drive; and then reinstalled the driver. it had been crashing the computer every time it got to the finder, and i couldn't even get to the point where i could work w/ the OS/finder. ---------- "la conaissance ca ne vend pas, ca se partage!"
