Shawn, You are the MAN! I found a cast off sound card in my bag of crap.
Put it in and OS 9 booted right on up. Thanks a BILLION

Tom,
If I had one (that worked) I'd help you out. I bought a bad one off
eBay before I got mine fixed. I also remember having a strange
volume/mute control in the OS that would boot before the blank error
box showed on install. Seems like the volume only registered halfway
with barely a sound and the mute button worked strange. You may have
had some of these symptoms or I may have the specifics reversed. But
either way, the card charged my batteries, ran the laptop, etc. Just
no sound and no upgrading to 9.1 or 9.2.1, don't remember the
specifics. I just remember that blank box on install after the first
or second icon ( or CDEV ) loaded at the bottom left of the screen.
Check out Daniel Cota @ powerbooktech, he's got them for $40.
Here's the link:

Also check out the "Giant Ball of Orange Static". It's a riot!
He treated me well when I bought a logic board from him. And he
diagnosed the problem and only charged me for the sound card when I
sent it to him because I had purchased the logic board earlier. I paid
about $95 for the card about 1-1/2 years ago.
That should solve your problems!
Good luck,
Shawn

Shawn, Of all the responses to my problem, yours is posibly closest
to the mark. I don't have sound anymore, and cannot seem to boot off
of the battery. I have not yet found a sound board, but am casting
about for one. I will now try putting the old one that I replaced
some time ago back in to see if this helps. You don't have an working
extra do You? :)
