Hi John, I did as you suggested...but I got a black screen with porgrammer like instructions..."if you want to continue to boot type mac-boot and press return" or the same with shut-down.
When I type "mac-boot" and return I get a small OS logo with a line of programmer type under the logo that makes no sense to me...and nothing.
