Well, this is weird. I have been playing with macs for years, and I have never seen this error: (on a beige g3/233)
During startup, before any happy mac or even the regular grey screen, i get and error that starts at the top left of the scree an prints "can't OPEN" over and over, maybe 25 times. Then, all goes well and the machine continues to boot. Sometimes there is a 1/2 second between repeats, sometime 15 seconds...
I saw "no hfs device" or something a few times also. same results.
the thing is, now the ata bus with the cd and zip no longer works. any ideas?
thanks
