-
- They can be replaced, but since this problem apparently isn't qualified, there's
- no telling if your replacement is going to warm up any faster. And there should
- be no need for this.

- >I have tried a lot of different [DELAY] numbers Is there a quantum i.e 5 10 15 20
-
- The quantum is 1 (eg, any integer), the range from 0 to 100.

-
- The Kickstart loads long before the reboot process takes place. Why break the
- Startup-Sequence?
-
- >I presume this is something wrong with CHIP RAM
-
- Obviously you don't have any hard problem with Chip RAM, or your system would
- never work. If you don't have enough Chip RAM for SetCPU to work (eg, one meg
- of combined Chip RAM and $00C00000 memory), SetCPU should refuse to attempt a
- reboot.
-
- >I am using SetCpu 1.61 by Dave the DAD Haynie :-)
-
- Maybe that's your problem. The lastest SetCPU is V1.60. If you have a later
- one, there's a real good change it's bogus.
