-
- Is there a program which lets you change that vaule in battery RAM? As I
- mentioned before, my ROM 3 has both CDAs locked in with no apparent way to
- disable them. I've tried purging my BRAM settings by setting the system to
- 50Hz or 60Hz (CTRL-OPTION-RESET, 2 or 3), but they're still in the menu! :-(
-
- Someone at Apple Canada told me it's a fault in a couple of dozen manufactured
- ROM 3 CPUs (CDAs locked in menu permanetly), but I'm wondering if maybe it has
- something to do with this special battery RAM setting.
