Yeah, the best way to deal with the AppleVision is to ignore the auto on/off and ue the manual switch. If you let it do anything erratic it you get the blank screen issue and you will need to reset the monitor.

Both drives have seen a complete nuking. The 36gb spare remains uninitialized and thus invisible to the mac through the following tests.

For this test I started by doing a customized 68K install of 7.6.1. After repeated boot cycles the mysterious happy mac reset had not of shown so I proceeded to load Snooper and tested each bank of 4mb SIMMs one at a time, followed by testing of the onboard and expanded VRAM. No problems reported and no issues gained as memory was added.

I'll now proceed to clear out the system folder, install a Universal 7.6.1 install and fit the PowerPro 601 card.
