Well, one has to be able to boot to zap pram, huh! So I didn't do that. But the thing might as well work again with the cache card after zapping PRAM so: 1. I rebooted pressing Cmd - Option - P - R and let it restart 3 times (3 times 'boing') 2. The screen was set to black and white and AppleTalk to the printer port when I booted again. 3. I turned off the IIci, put the cache card back in and put it on again. 4. Screen stayed black; hard disk didn't make any humming sounds. It wasn't booting. The IIci was as dead as before. Everything worked fine again after I took out the cache card for the second time. That card is gone. I'll try and get myself an other IIci to make this one complete again. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
