Hello to everyone, This is my first post to the SuperMac list.
I recently brought home an 200mhz S900 UMax SuperMac from work which was no longer being used. The computer has had booting problems from the beginning and have gotten worse. When I got it home it would boot for me but would freeze. There were also times it would boot to the smiley Mac then hang. Now it only boots to a grey screen or leaves me with a black screen. What I have tried: Zapped the pram, desktop rebuild, ran an installed Norton Utilities Disk Doctor, pressed cuda reset, reseated some of the internal hardware, replaced the PRAM battery, tried booting from an OS 9.1 system CD by holding C button at startup but did nothing. My sister has Norton's Utilities on CD I want to borrow and try to boot from but have my doubts. Something I am wondering about. This computer did not have its original cord. I had to go through a drawer full of cords at work and guess as to which was the correct cord? The computer has worked with this cord but wonder if that could create my problem. If so have no idea were to get correct cord. Help appreciated, -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
