Mac Classic Address error

[sircabulon]

I have been working to get my battlestation networked in hopes to get some Bolo going. On my IIci, Color Classic, PB180, and SE Bolo works great. On the Classic, I am getting an address error and bomb when I open Bolo. I replaced the hard drive with a bluescsi and a zuluscsi and it is persisting. I think there may be some bad ram.

Is there a good tool test this?

When you boot off the Classic ROM OS (hold down command + option + X + O on startup), does it happen then? If suspect RAM, pull and clean the slots and contacts again, there are software tests like MacTest, Techtool but not neither are particularly rigorous in testing RAM.

I will try with booting from ROM. It runs fine until it gets Bolo going, but on my SE it is fine. That said, my SE has an accelerator, so that isn't fully apples to apples (pun intended).

Booting off the ROM did not fix the issue, however it isn't just giving me an address error with no detail now. I am getting a System Error ID = 02. I looked that up and Mac Wizard and...... that means address error.

Next steps will be to boot it without the RAM module in it to see if it the error persists.

Turns out I was searching the wrong area on the forums.

I am going to continue on this thread:

I have the opposite problem. I have a bog standard Mac Classic and an SE with an accelerator. The SE runs Bolo fine, but the Classic crashes.
