Ok, that fixed the no video problem... I pulled out all the RAM DIMMs and reseated them. Now it boots ok. By inspection, they all looked fine, but it just goes to show you that actually physically reseating things never hurts.
Now my 2nd problem. I've got 2 Seagate ST11200N (aka Hawk 1) drives installed and a 250MB SCSI drive (boot disk w/ 8.1). I crash during boot if a certain one of the Seagates is connected. If the second is connected, I can't reformat it in Drive Setup w/o another crash. The Seagates are both pulls from Sun Microsystems 411 external boxes. The 2nd drive makes a lovely clicking noise, so I suppose it's trashed. I don't know what the problem is with the 1st drive though. After it spins up (delay motor start), the LED just strobes and strobes and strobes and ... well you get the idea. Once the strobing starts, though, the Mac is crashed. Any ideas? Think both of these disks are trash? The PTP boots fine without them... Sigh. :-( Peace, Drew -- Having graduated (with a physics BS :-P), I will be using the email address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please update your address book. <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss." -Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
