- A non-technical client across the country from me was using WordPerfect on
- Saturday when his system froze (don't think we can blame WordPerfect on this
- one :-) He says that he couldn't get anything to respond including the power
- key, so he pulled the plug. He tried to boot and was thrown into the ROM
- monitor with an "Exception #2" error message. I tried to help him reboot by
- having him manually enter various boot commands including booting from his 3.0
- CD-ROM. Immediately after entering any boot command, the "Exception #2" error
- occurred.
-
- I assumed he had a hardware problem. He borrowed another NeXT and headed for
- his demos in another state. Upon returning today, he again tried to boot and
- everything seems normal! I still suspect a hardware problem, but knowing what
- "Exception #2" means might be a big clue.
-
- If anyone can shed any light on this, please let me know.
