Actually, its only the cable that's been in a box that hasn't been used in some time (well, ever, but its been in a box for several years). Your suggestion is one of the first things I did :-) The thing that is strange is that I booted the machine just fine off the drive before swapping the memory (with the idea of changing 1 thing at a time), then after swapping the memory it no longer will boot off the 16 bit bus. Yet it works from the 8 bit bus. How can memory have anything to do with it? Yet that is what changed. I have re-verified the memory is sitting correctly several times now. I changed the CPU from a 604/233 to a G3/400 just prior, but it had rebooted several times without any problems. I'm so, uh, well, bewildered I guess. And frustrated ;-) And... I guess it couldn't hurt to remove some of the memory and see what happens. If that fixes it, though, where does that leave it? I haven't a clue. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
