Hi guys, figured I'd ask you guys for any idea's on a problem I'm having. Anyway, this pertains to a pair of Quadra 950's which I'm trying to make usable. It started out that both worked good. I then focused on one of them to see if I could build it up some (more ram, VRAM, bigger hard drive, ect) and then it started to exhibit adb problems (pointer not moving on the screen when mouse was moved but keyboard fine). Then after 2 more restarts all adb function was dead (no keyboard or mouse response). So I sat with it for a while and gave up and moved everything over to the second 950. As soon as I fired it up though, it showed the same results as the first one.
The first thing that came to my mind was maybe a keyboard/wire problem so I went and grabbed another (known good) keyboard and mouse but without any change in the results. Since I couldn't reset the pram via keyboard anymore I yanked the pram battery out of the second 950 and let it sit unplugged overnight. When I came back to it the next day I got the same results. I then yanked the hard drive, restarted, no change. Tried to start up on system floppy but it wouldn't even read it (spit it right back out) giving me a floppy icon with an X threw it. So I yanked the floppy drive with no change. I then pulled the ram 4 chips at a time trying many different combinations all resulting in no adb response. When I fire up either 950, the keyboard (extended) lights flash shortly as usual but after that fact nothing. Also, if I press the caps lock button a few times when starting up, it will light the caps lock light and stay on (pressing caps lock after that point does nothing). All ram was pulled from working machines (ram from both 950's and 4 sticks from a quadra 700) and all were paired in sets of 4. I even tried grabbing 4 1meg sticks and trying that but of course nothing. If I pull all the ram I get the tone of death at startup which I assume is normal. Anyway, any idea's are welcome and I'll try them all if need be. Thanks guys. Jake 94 Hybrid Civic HB -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
