Sick //gs update

First of all, my thanks to everyone who replied (and it's been less than 24 
hrs)!

I took Jawaid's advice & found my original CPU & plugged it back in.
The result?  Everything seems fine for now :), and I may not have to get a 
new hard drive after all :) :) :), but I will need a new accelerator :( I'd 
like one which does at least 10 MHz-- any suggestions?), and a strange thing 
happened after I replaced the '816:

Using the Finder I copied my system disk into /RAM5 & rebooted (to /RAM5), 
but the sliding apple was there again...  So, I used Installer & tried 
again, to no avail.  Then I thought, well, if I can at least LAUNCH an 
application from /RAM5, I'll live with it for now.  So I fired up the Finder 
again, and this time, when it tried to mount the RAM disk, it told me that 
the device .DEV2 was Pascal-formatted.  So I installed the Pascal FST on my 
system disk & rebooted.  What happened?  It said that it couldn't recognize 
.DEV2 with the FST's I had installed (Eject/Initialize).  So I Initialized, 
copied the system disk into RAM, and, whaddya know?  I could boot from /RAM5!

So far, so good, but does anyone know why that might have happened?  Also, 
am I going to have to manually format /RAM5 every time I turn on my 
computer? (Of course, if my HD works, I won't need to boot from RAM any 
more, but I'd like my computer to be fully functional regardless.)

Once again, thanks everyone!
