All right, so I thought that the 2 GB HD in the Power Mac 8100/80 was toast, but it turned out that the System Folder had gotten unblessed for some reason. I booted up with a CD and did the Option-double-click-System-file trick and that fixed it. It's got OS 8.6, in case you were wondering.
The next thing I did was upgrade the RAM using DRAMs from the Baggie O' RAM which I got from fellow 68kmla'er wthww last July from 112 MB to 168 MB. That leaves me around 140 MB to run programs and do other stuff.
The big question: what should I do with all of this extra RAM? Make a huge RAM disk? Run some memory-hungry application? I need suggestions here, since even the 112 MB seemed really excessive to me!
