2. Had the unit been unused for a period of time and the pram battery could have expired?
With my FIRST Sonnet G3, 400MHz board into a PowerComputing PCP240, I had this problem and solved it by calling tech support and per their suggestions ... pulling the L2 cache (they put this into the instructions ... later on).
But you said, it had been working before installing the new hard drive. For an experiment, I'd put the 604e card back in and try to boot it with an OS disk. Once up, install the Sonnet enabler S/W.
You didn't mention the brand or type of the hard disk. It is SCSI? If it could be the HdiskTry 'Mount Everything' SW.

I think I missed the solution someone was having getting a PTPPro 225 up and

I replaced the original hard drive on mine, and added a sonnet upgrade from
my old apple, now i cannot get it going again at all. Very frustrating as it
was a great machine once. Theres lots of memory, and I have done the cuda
thing many times, checked the seating of memory and stuff, it won't even
start up from a program Cd. I must be doing something wrong. Could it be the
new processor? It did run before I put the new hard drive in. It has the
original video card now.
Anyway, i found a Radeon 7000 for 29.99 on Bizrate and it says its just for
PCs. i thought I saw something about "flashing " it on this list. I have no
idea what that means, but if the radeon might help get this guy going again,
I d try it for 30 bucks! I have cd toolkit on a floppy, but I cant get that
to work either as the system just wont respond.
Thanks for any guidance, BR
Peter,
When I went to Sonnet G4 700 on my PTP, I had screen problems and was
advised by Sonnet to upgrade my video card. I changed to Radeon 7000. No
problems,
works great.

Yes, I think your only real option is the Radeon 7000 PCI - the AGP cards will not work in your system.
