Acquired a 7100/80 a couple of days ago with hopes of replacing a 7100/66 as a Sonnet G3 upgraded NuBus Mac.
Swapped the logic boards as the /80's case was in rough shape. Reassembled and booted to test the assemble. With the case top off, it booted fine and seemed "happy." Slid the top back on and hit the power key; Got the boot chime and then it stopped at the grey screen with a cursor arrow. PRAM reset 5 times; nothing but the grey screen. Started parts swapping to isolate the problem. No luck. Tested all parts except the logic board in the original 7100/66. Boots and runs great. Did I get the final few minutes of life out the old thing when I first tested it with the top off? Any suggestions welcome! Ken -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
