I had a similar problem with my NewerTech G4/400 card about a month after I bought it. I even tried zapping the PRAM but the machine would only boot properly when I replaced the Newertech card with the original 604e CPU. Then one day I got stubborn and sat on the command-option-P-R keys for about a minute and a half - nothing to lose - and the G4 card came back to life (haven't had a problem since). Hope this gives you some hope - and a working Powerlogix G3! -- Gregg -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
