Boy did I do a STUPID thing today.  I was fooling around with
my Mac II (1 Meg RAM) while I had the Control Panel DA up.  I
was flipping though the various sizes of RAM cache sizes when
I noticed the range was from 16K to 750K.  In my fooling around
I turned it on by mistake and closed the DA while the cache was
set for 750K!!!  Seeing my mistake I tried to open the Control
Panel DA back up again....an error message comes up saying that
there isn't enough memory to open the DA!  At this point I'm not
in a panic so I click on the continue box.  Now a system bomb comes
up ID=19.  Now I PANIC!!!!  I try a reboot from floppy...get to the
desktop, but the control panel still cannot be pulled up without
crashing the system.  Try a reboot from hard disk....the smile mac
comes up then the screen glitches and the musical tones play,
not the ones on restart, the tones when you hit the interupt switch.
Now I really PANIC.  Next is a complete restore of all the hard disk
files.....The same things happen!!!

Next I try to rebuild the desktop (restart with the control/option keys 
down).....same thing!!!!

Now what do I do!!!!  I've heard the configuration ram locations must be
reset sometimes....but how?  Any suggestions?  HELP!! HELP!!
Send email direct to me.....
