overcurrent in a computersystem can/will have huge implications as it can burn alot of supportchips :-o  :pissed:

as it sounds like the memory simm has drawned alot of current.

btw: did you make sure that the simm did not touch the metalshield? because there is about -110v in the gound, to shield the computer. Alot of bad things can happen if any part of the computer i shorted with the metalshield, trust me  :-o

erm . . .may i suggest you, to check your house ground system? ;-)

hehe. ok, I should have been more clear on that. The pontial between objects witch make thier OWN ground will create an potential of -110v, but of cource there isn't any current in it, but i can be felt like a small buzzing sensation if you touch your radiator and the "own" grounded object.

and btw. congratulation with your A1200 and PPC !! a very nice gift you "got" there  :-D
