Thanks for the suggestions.
I had already removed all the third party cards before attempting to upgrade to the Sonnet.
Yes, I think the zif in there was either a 233 or 266. I know it was running previously in the 200s somewhere. When I reset the jumpers I put them back exactly where they were the last time it worked.
Will try to boot to 9 with extensions disabled, but since I'm not getting a chime I'm kinda doubtful. I just tried that and again, nothing happened.
All I'm getting is a black screen.
It's been a month or two since I did the firmware upgrade, so I don't exactly recall how I did that. I followed some instructions, held the programmer's key, etc etc and that was it. Just before my last attempt to do the Sonnet I double checked by attempting to install Sonnet's OF upgrade, and got the message that it had already been done.

Bill another idea - I couldn't install my Sonnet G4 800 MHz on my old beige Minitower, and a helpful G-lister sent me the beta of Sonnet's software (I didn't get any of what the install booklet said I should, as far as software dialog boxes, etc. is concerned) so I used that and it worked like a charm. I also used it on my B&W (Renata) and it also worked like a charm. Follow the instructions EXACTLY. I also discovered that the upgrade card I got last year is a LOT different than the same one Sonnet is selling now, although the specs are the same. The manual is different too! Almost made me lose my mind.
Anyway, if you have the heat sink that is absolutely GIGANTIC (like double the size of the original heat sink) I can scan my booklet if you don't have the installation booklet - you have to follow the directions EXACTLY IN ORDER!! I can send you the beta software and hopefully it will work for you as well as it did for me. I tell ya I was going insane!
And the G-Listers saved my sanity: "Hallelujah and I love them so"
