Everything works fine under Linux. I also booted into BeOS(which starts up via MacOS) and everything worked. Booting into MacOS- even a disk tools floppy- I have no mouse movement at all. Even when you first boot the computer and have a grey screen with a pointer - before the OS loads - I have no pointer control. The computer also turned itself on sometime during the day. I tried the unplugging and dancing naked with the cuda held down for 30 sec ritual and even this did not seem to please the Umax gods. I cannot see any visible damage to the motherboard. The only consistent thing I see is that the two third party OSs don't use the MacOS ROM toolbox routines to read the mouse. I think that with the spontaneous power-on and mouse problems that I have damaged something in the adb subsystem - but what I do not know. I bought this beast new in 96 - maybe its time for it to become a full time linux box (where I can still run MacOS under emulation). Thank you for the Info on the cuda chip. I might go that route if I can't get this situation resolved. Thanks guys, Tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
