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! -RSL-
