Whew! Got it back. It would appear to have been, as Will pointed out to me, 'The Black Screen of Death'. (Ominous music playing in background)
Anyway, I followed his advice of doing a battery pull and cuda and machine came back. I then selected my recently formatted scsi drive as startup and duplicated the symptoms. So it would appear that the scsi drive has a corrupted 9.1/9.2 OS or drivers, which puts the whole system in limbo, even after removing that drive because the Start Up CP gets stuck trying to load it but can't find it. I guess since I no longer have any other scsi devices on there, it can't do a default bootup since my cd/rom is now ide as of two days ago. I suspect that if I still had my scsi cd/rom installed, it may have been able to boot from that. Actually no, because I did plug it in too but that did nothing. So anyone knows why it wouldn't boot to another drive. Anywho, 'this time' I dodged a bullet. Dave s900 -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
