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.
There seems to be (at least on MY S900) a sensitivity to the 'carrier
card' being pushed to one end of the socket or the other. There is a
couple thou. slop in the card/socket fit. Which way works best can only
be determined by trial & error ;-( .
See if this info will let you get it functioning.

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?
