Jim,
No luck with the IC's, but I finally thought to swap the HD, and it
worked! It took the better part of a day bootstrapping my olde A3000 (its
older than 2.0 ROMs – it boots kickstart from it's HD). Fortunately I maintain
a tape drive backup of all my partitions. I now have a rather expensive
paperweight (Quantum 210MB drive). Oh well… it's better than doing a
motherboard swap. It would have been nice if the repair technician had
considered this whne I brought it in for repairs, but that's what you get when
you have things repaired by a guy that prides himself on not
"over-repairing"!!!!!!!!!
It's nice to have my A3000 back (not to mention all those eps and
postscript font files). Now if/when PageStream ever gets finished, I'll have
something to try it out on!!!! Having recently purchased QuarkXpress I'll
REALLY be able to see if PgS compares as favorably as Soft-Logik hopes!!!
Thanks for the good wishes and advice!
