Recently aquired a used dsktop powermac beige unit 266mhz, 192mb ram, OS 9.2 - for a friend
The mac starts up and just as it gets to about a quarter of the way across of the startup screen, a system error message comes up - I think type 11 will check again.
any ideas what this could be?
thanx in advance

A type 11 bomb on startup? Ouch. First try starting while holding shift to disable extensions, and if that does not work you'll have to get a hold of an OS 9 disc to check on the drive and reinstall the OS.

Hi thanks for your message
it is a type 11 error - it also happens while booting from the OS9 CD?
what is an error 11 message? is it fault with motherboard or PSU?

Error Type 11 is listed as a miscellaneous hardware exception error. Unfortunately, it's a catchall error for several kinds of problems. It can be caused by programming glitches, such as the driver on your hard disk, or actual hardware issues such as bad RAM. Apple has a couple of articles available regarding Type 11 errors:
Troubleshooting article, aimed at users.
Programming, development article, aimed at developers.

Check the RAM (one module at a time, one slot at a time, could be a bad module or a bad slot). And check the SCSI (if it's there). www.scsifaq.org
Both issues are usually fixable.
