NEED RESCUE DISK! MAC SE -- BOMB System Error / Address Error
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Macintosh experts,
My Mac SE crashes at power-up. I gives the bell-chime, then it proceeds though the launch sequence. After showing two extension-icons, it crashes. Then a dialogue-box shows the BOMB icon with the message, SORRY, A SYSTEM ERROR HAS OCCURRED --- ADDRESS ERROR It never reaches the desktop; this crash occurs every time.
The Mac SE has a 330 meg internal hard drive, System 6.x.x, and a 1.4 meg internal 3.5 floppy drive. There is a SCSI port but no internal CD reader. The b/w screen is extremely sharp in its focus. The computer worked fine until about a year ago, when I stupidly put a file in the wrong folder. It has crashed consistently ever since! It has an assortment of software on the hard drive, but I have backups of everything and am willing to reformat the entire hard drive if necessary to get the computer working again! If I can resurrect the computer, I hope to upgrade the system to System 7.0 or 7.1 .
DONE SO FAR: Yes, I have launched it with shift-key down, to turn off the extensions, but it always crashes Ive also tried various rescue disks but most are not recognized when in the floppy drive. Best luck was with NORTON UTILITIES APPLICATION ! FLOPPY DISK. This disk loads at power-up, and I was able to use SPEED DISK to optimize the hard drive. None of the other functions of this Norton disk could be activated. It has a companion disk, Norton Utilities Application 2 disk, but at power-up, the hard drive ignores Norton #2, spinning up the hard drive until the port of inevitable crash.
I have Ted Landaus (1997) book, SAD MACS, BOMBS, AND OTHER DISASTERS. The book describes many types of System Errors, but there is no mention of address errors.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO???? Im willing to erase the hard drive if necessary. System 7.1 floppies are on their way from someone. Does anyone of a rescue disk that can fix this so-called system error / address error? I will pay postage costs if anyone can send me a rescue disk.
Please send advice. Please copy your reply to my e-mail address buggie@xxxxxxx . Thanks, Steve Buggie, UNM-Gallup, 200 College Road, Gallup NM 87301
