Wade, second things first: Pyro! works erraticaly with MF. Stay
tuned for a patch/upgrade from Software Supply.
I was under the impression that the [control-]command-shift-option
trick only worked on SEs and IIs. In any event, you lucky Plus
people can pop the battery for a spell to zap that PRAM. Maybe
it worked before because you were using a System installed for an
SE? (Dumb guess.) I doubt that there's any hardware problem.
