My 9600 has a G3 card in it, a newertech G3-350. When I hit the keyboard power, it usually starts, but doesn't chime. The monitor light doesn't switch to green and although I hear hard drive spin up, no video comes on.
When I then press control-apple-power, it "usually" chimes on the second boot and starts normally. I just stuck a 128 meg memory dimm in and now (though I haven't tested thoroughly) it sometimes takes multiple presses of control-apple-power before I hear the chime and it starts normally. Any ideas what might be causing this? The battery tests at over 3V. Thanks for any help. Tom -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
