I have had this happen many times on one of my ANS 500's. The only solution
that I have is to pull the power plug and battery for about 10 minutes.
Then try it again. This seems to work about 75% of the time. Gee, I
thought I was the only one with this problem!
I also have a problem with two of my ANS's not being able to zap the PRAM.
My solution for those machines is the same as I use for the default catch
problem.
Anyone else have any ideas?
