Well, I'm back up! But I don't really know why. Thanks to Jeff W, Will, Jeff S and Eric for your suggestions.
I tried powering up from the keyboard - same result. I then removed all RAM and the CPU - same result (flicker of LEDs, then dead). Then I put in my old 604e daughter card, and it booted up! I swapped back in my G3 card and it also booted up!!?! I gradually added in RAM, a pair at a time, and put in my SCSI card and connected it to its drive. At this point I am back to all my original hardware, except for a different power supply. I had taken out RAM before and resinstalled my 604e. Why swapping in the 604 and then the G3 worked, I don't know. Maybe I failed to seat something properly or to hold down the CUDA reset long enough before. I now doubt that the power supply was the problem, since the initial behavior with this one was the same as with the old. All I can figure is that some setting got hosed and starting from square one enabled everything to get back in sync. Thanks again for you help. Wish me luck. - Gary > >In a message dated 4/26/02 6:28:24 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >> >><< I had just installed a new G3/500, >>more RAM and OS 9.1.
