TechTool Deluxe:
I've got a disc which was given to me with one of my partial MDDs, maybe 2.7.3?
- booted TTD for OS 9 drive (x removed)
It scanned my hardware and RAM before it hung while scanning volume structures.
- booted TTD for OS X drive (9 removed)
It restarted my mac a few times and panicked with a memory error: unaligned frame address.
So typical of tonights headaches, two versions of TechTool tell me two different problems.
- Also I retried this with my two ATA 66 drives disconnected, just to narrow it down a bit more.
Anybody have any idea why my MDD decided to die when I wasn't using it? It ran practically every day for about five years! I switched it off only if I was (rarely) going to be away for a few days, or if there was a bad storm. And once I finally leave it off for a few months, it dies. This is not the first time computers have been this way for me, they go from constant use to dying from apparent non-use. I am really curious to know why, if anybody has ideas! I guess I am going to search my house now for:
1. spare RAM (doubtful)
2. new ATA cable
3. other (untested) MDD CPU
