Have you tested it with any other OS? You might consider trying the Network Install Disk, which is a tiny 7.5.3 system on a floppy, available from Apple's ftp site. It does ethertalk, so it could rule out a hardware problem. I used to bring a copy to auctions for testing machines without hard drives. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
