DISCUSSION

    Just as Preferences in the Lisa keeps the settings, the Parameter Memory chip
    or Parameter RAM in the Macintosh maintains system information: Clock, date,
    and  alarm settings, some Control Panel settings, and Serial port
    configurations.

    If necessary, Parameter RAM may be erased entirely:

    1. Turn off the Macintosh
    2. Unplug the Macintosh
    3. Remove the battery (do not try to draw off charge by
    placing the battery back in upside down)
    4. After at least 10 minutes, reinsert battery
