OK got the B/W a couple hours ago. as mentioned before it came without Ram , HD , or Video Card (or b/w system disc)
first I identified it as a V2 MB <402 chip> smiled and went about installing stuff into it. 1> my ATI 4mb card from my 9600 <not wishing to attempt a voodoo5 til things work right> 2> (2) 256mb pc133 sticks 3> 8.6gb IDE HD from my parted out C600 <with Umax system OS 7.5 -> to retail 8.6> I didnt want to attempt to start it up from the Umax OS'd HD so I promptly inserted the 8.5/6 OS disc in the CD/DVD rom as I started it up...holding down the C button in the process. RESULT was nothing much Im getting a folder in the middle of screen with a "mappy mac" and a "?" alternating in the folder icon. < so I went back and made sure I remembered how to boot from a CD > < btw which of the three shuts off the system? < the indented one on bottom right? < not familiar with the system --- yet > > so thats where Im at. so maybe the CD isnt getting in?? I opened it back up to check all the jumpers < HD was set to Master-device 0 > the CD/DVD was also set to Master < my first experience with an IDE CD drive-whether on a chain or not > so my only conclusion I can come up with is that the jumper on the CD is incorrect. any ideas?
