My IIci used to do that for no reason, usually when the pram battery was dead or low. It would'nt start up at all sometimes, but if I left it plugged in for a minute or two it would 'pop' on for no reason. I think it had something to do with getting a charge to the pram, and not relying on the (dead) battery. Dunno for sure. Jeff Grant -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
