Slightly OT here since the question has already been answered, but I've
found that for my Quadra 630 (which wouldn't boot without a monitor
attached) I could fake the presence of a monitor by simply leaving a Mac to
PC VGA monitor adapter connected to it, with no monitor connected to the
other side of the adapter.

I have heard of, but never tried or seen specific instructions for, a way to
fake the presence of a monitor simply by bridging a few of the holes on the
computers monitor port with some paperclips or similar wires.  If anyone
knows how to do it, I'd be interested, as I'd like to get the Mac to PC
video adapter off of my Q630 (which acts as a headless LocalTalk to Ethernet
bridge) and use it for it's intended purpose, connecting a monitor, on
another computer.

Thanks,

-John
