Is it possible to run a PowerMac 8500 without a keyboard/mouse or monitor plugged in? I just received one but I must purchase a Mac-to-VGA adapter and an ADB keyboard. When I fire it up, the hard drive starts up, the cdrom will eject when the button is pressed, etc. but there's no 'Apple' chime and no drive activity (like when the OS is loading).
I'll buy a video adapter for it tomorrow but until then, I want to know if it simply won't start without these. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
