Something like that on the LC520 would be perfect... even if I had to build such myself (tie it to an internal logic board connector or something), but I was unable to find anything along those lines. Most of the other soft power macs I have found all have manual boot buttons, so I was a little surprised to find the LC520 didn't (maybe they didn't want the school kids hitting them accidentally). >I belive computers with that particular all-in-one case have toggle >switch on the back of them in addition to the keyboard.

It doesn't boot the computer itself. I will go flick it back and forth a few times to see if I can get it to boot from that switch, but in my previous playing, it doesn't actually turn on the computer. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
