Thank's Will, Thats what I thought I could do, I seem to remember that mentioned before I'm going to try it, What I have tried was swapping MB's and when I attempt to boot "nothing" keyboard won't react at all, so I assume the board has a "problem" I've swapped, keyboards, power supplies, pram batteries, and cuda, even let sit for a week "board disconnected" and the same occurs.
I had purchased a MB from a California reseller (ebay) for $15 plus shipping, there were no guarantees from the reseller, Mac Global know anything about them?
No but that is a great price!
The reason I had purchased this board is because I had problems with the original board in my S900 I started tinkering with SCSI again, I purchased a 9 gig HD from OWC, (adapted 68 to 50 IBM unformatted) connected to onboard SCSI, Bus 1? (next to ram slots) the machine didn't react well, first the drive was not recognized by drive setup and after re-booting it made a terrible wining noise, I shut down quickly from the front panel button.
I disconnected the drive, re-booted and all I've gotten is a boot image at startup, but it doesn't move (Happy mac) tried all the usual swapping this and that nothing. So I really have 2 boards with a "problem" any more thoughts I will post to "supermacs" after your reply? Thank you.
So, what I have are 2 logic boards, "new" and the "original" that seem have their "usual problems" any thoughts on resurrecting? Phillip
Sorry I didn't have time to get back to you sooner. I'm wondering did your problems start when you put in the new SCSI hard drive? Many listers here and elsewhere have had problems using these hard drives with the 68 to 50 pin adapters and or the drive could be bad. Have you tried removing the new drive and going back to your old SCSI drive making sure to use the cuda button? What SCSI id number are you using for the new drive? IT doesn't seem that you'd get a completely dead machine from drive or SCSI issues but worth checking out. What do others think? Sorry I can't be of more help. Will S
