I picked up a very clean Mac Plus with all the trimmings - 40mb CMS external HDD, even the original cover. She boots System 6.0.8 beautifully but intermittently locks up - at least that's what it did prior to my opening the case. I carefully opened it up to visually inspect the components. Everything at least looks in good shape. Absolutely no leaky/popped caps, etc. I carefully removed the 30pin SIMMS and cleaned the edge connectors with a pencil eraser.
I did a bit more housecleaning before I reassembled it. It booted right up but after awhile now it randomly reboots. I am beginning to suspect bad RAM. I am an old-school computer technician, and am pretty good at what I do but I cannot troubleshoot board-level component failure. I'm thinking of replacing the 4 256k sticks. Any ideas where I could obtain some? Thanks in advance! -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
