Hi Phil, On 11 Mar, this message from Phil Brutsche echoed through cyberspace: > A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... > >> On the other hand, what kind of machine is this?

I didn't get the original processor card. Various Mac > sites say it had a 604/604e @ some clock speed at the factory.

Hmm.. what was the exact message again? the code= part tells you what the crash was about; the last 4 digits are the type of exception, which can be looked up in the PPC manuals. Also, I'm attaching a different quik first stage; The default coming with some quik release wouldn't boot on my G3 processor. Had something to do with the way BAT's are set up; I have no idea whether the 'fixed' version ever made into an official quik release. Copy this somewhere, and rerun quik: quik -f -i <my first.b> Save your old first.b (don't overwrite the one in /boot !!), in cae anything goes wrong. Also, make sure you have some other way (i.e.BootX) to get your machine up before fiddling with quik! But I suppose you havem since quik doesn't work ;-) Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy.
