Hung SCSI bus. Disconnect all SCSI drives, and try to boot from a floppy which has only the Finder and a System File (any one will do). If the boot from the floppy fails, and it probably will, telling you that the System File doesn't match the machine type, then you've confirmed that the machine is basically good, but the SCSI chain is AFU. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
