Thanks, Clark. I'm not sure where I read--or got--the info about
open firmware. At the time I was having problems with a WS II. I
was never able to open firmware with 9, but could with X. Maybe me
fingers waren't workin' rright! Thanks, again for the info.

I may be wrong, but Open Firmware is something you can do in X not 9.
To paraphrase the adage, many many problems begin with memory.
Try swapping out what's in with known working memory or take out
one of the sticks, to see if it boots. You would need to play
around with this, but it could be the heart of the problem.
Open Firmware is what controls the boot up of the computer. It is
there regardless of what OS you are booting into be it X, 9, Linux,
etc.
