If you open the battery door (center rear) you will

a tiny switch. The switch is full-reset-zap-everything. The jumper
is what connects the battery to the rest of the system, and may be set
incorrectly if the unit is never-used or someone clueful stored it
with the knowledge that it wouldn't be used for a while. Of course I
can't remember which way is "correct" and my Pluses are being
difficult w/r/t door removal this morning.
Ah, there we go. The jumper fits over a three-pin header, and the pin
to the right (assuming you're facing the back, so the one on the
Ctrl-key side of the Plus) should be exposed for normal operation (the
other two should be connected with the jumper).
Thanks, changing the jumper and hitting reset did the trick. I needed to
reformat the RAM disk after the reset, but I have a couple of "advanced
mail" apps in ROM that seem to expect files to be present on the RAM disk.
Is there some special way to setup the ROM apps, or do I manually create
directories and files as I get errors?
