There's 16 MB RAM soldered to the motherboard, so removing all RAM will still let you test the machine. True, with all SCSI cables disconnected and PCI cards pulled, you won't have an OS, but at this point getting to the gray screen with the flashing question mark will be a victory.
Dear Jeff: No PCI cards except for the video, yes pulled all ram, disconnected drive (1 gig) formatted with speed tools, changed to apple brand CD Rom and can hear accessing CD when started holding "C" key, 200 mhz processor, only other card installed is apollo (tried boot less this card also) changed scsi cable, swapped power supply. I moved known good video card twin turbo from running S900 - No change ?? Have tried in all PCI slots - no video with known good card ? If this is the " Black Screen of Death " I wish this on no one, it defies most logic attempts to debug. Second day banging head against wall - Getting my Umax schooling the hard way !
