Finally pulled all the RAM, carefully inspected it for orientation, and reseated it, making SURE it all "bottomed out" in the slots. One DIMM was just a bit loose. When I reassembled the machine, it fired right up and now works flawlessly! Some of the RAM DIMMs were a bit harder to seat than others.
Something you might check (I know, it is a PAIN to get at the RAM, but...). Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
