Thanks Clark. I suspect the floppy issue myself. But I do not have another 
working floppy to try out. Though I have ordered the Floppy EMU and that 
should really take care the both issues. If with any luck that works out, I 
will try to create some working floppy with it.

PRAM is indeed out of battery. I think that might be one of the course. I 
might just simplely clip some AA batteries and try.

Memory seems fine. I did do a dry run without the floppy, and no sad mac 
comes up.

Thanks for the tips, I am gonna get to work and see whats going on!
