The ROM in the 8500 is soldered onto the bottom of the Logic Board. The slot was
left there for unimplemented future ROM upgrades. Pull the processor. Look for a
little button inline with the processor toward the back of the machine. Push it
for 5 seconds. Verify there is a battery installed. Reseat the processor and zap
the PRAM on the reboot. Tell me what noises it makes.
