Thanks, guys, for the (as always) welcome suggestions. The good news is the
S900 is up and running again normally ('nominally' I believe they say at
NASA) with my old Sonnet Crescendo G3/400 installed (chimes and max RAM
included!).The bad news is: there must therefore be something wrong with either the new G4 chip and/or the used ZIF carrier card upon which it resides. I don't think I have a RAM, NVRAM, PS, or board problem, as the computer is working fine with the G3. So, what should I do with the G4? I suppose I'd better clean it up thoroughly. Regrease and reinstall the heat sink. And try again. Or does anyone have any bright(er) ideas? BTW, there is a little green light on the ZIF carrier card that blinks rapidly after attempting to boot until shutdown, even though I have the black screen. Is this a good sign? Does this mean anything at all? Adrian Adrian O'Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Offlist replies also welcome. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
