General rule of thumb; whenever I change hardware or software,
including OSs, I always zap the PRAM. Solves a host of problems.
Before starting up hold down the option, apple, R and P keys. I
usually let it restart five times. Also TechTool is helpful with this,
but I find doing it manually more complete. Or, alternatively,
removing the PRAM battery over night. Sometimes pushing the mobo reset
button helps too. Also called the "CUDA" reset button, it is located in
the back left corner of a G3 motherboard next to the PCI slot closest
to the edge. If you choose to do this be careful of static
electricity. I work on my Macs in the garage with a concrete floor.
I've heard a good way to dissipate the S.E. is to leave the Mac plugged
in and touch the metal chassis. The ground dissipates the S.E. Then
unplug the Mac before continuing. Try to not be on a rug. If you
must, when you have dissipated the S.E. don't move your feet until you
are done. Good luck,
Anand
