Matt - thanks for the reply!
I have access to a Nice Dell CRT, and I've tried that already.
The card was in the last pci slot actually... I will try it in the
first one.
One of the 5 Ram sticks was loose when it arrived. I pushed it in,
tried different combos, etc. No help
Already did the CUDA.
Pram is most likely flat -- going to Radio Shack tomorrow to get some
capacitors for a DVD player - will def. pick one up then.
I have no clue how to terminate, etc. I went Mac way after SCSI,
although I've had some SCSI all-in-one machines. There are no little
terminators on the SCSI cable. It does seem to hang after it starts
up... the chime, then the HD spins up and makes the clicking sounds as
it initializes, but no HD activity after that. How would I check
termination? Also, if i totally disconnected All SCSI devises and just
used an external SCSI box, would that boot it up?
Yes, I did get the breaking glass sound.
I'm only 14 so I don't have access to many spare parts. I'll list what
I have and see if that gives any ideas:
Lc 520
External CD drive (AppleCD 600, but that can be removed for an ext. HD)
Old 160MB SCSI HD -- system 7.5.5 or 7.5.3.
It had a Sonnet Tempo ATA card and an ATA CD Drive.
The Genesis also had a Yamaha SCSI cd burner.
The Genesis also has 5x 128 sticks of RAM... have tried various
slots/configs to no avail.
Various keyb/mouse.
Thanks very much. Sure hope this wasn't a wasted $90.

Thanks, Kyle-
1) If you have access to another monitor, give it a go.
2) Make sure the PCI slot is one of the first few (from the top) as
IIRC the
Mac PCI design prefers video cards in the first few slots.
3) Make sure all of the RAM is properly seated and also that the Video
card
is well seated too. My 9500 MP went through a bad patch a while back
due to
badly seated RAM after an upgrade. Symptom was chime but no video.
Sounds
quite like your issue.
4) Try resetting the PRAM with the CUDA switch. That also worked for
me.
5) PRAM battery... try replacing it. Could also be the issue.
Oh and last ditch attempt - check the SCSI chain is properly
trerminated.
This can also cause a Mac or clone to hang after a chime.
Do you get a breaking glass sound with no RAM by the way?
Hope that helps,
Matt
