Tried that - and I actually swapped in a different cable. No change. I noticed something I think is unusual on both of my Beige G3. The logic boards both have their power jumpers set to PS/2 vice MAC. Both have the same model power supply - API-6120. IS that the correct setting??

NOT the PRAM. Just a quick suggestion. Try removing and re-installing the cable --- I.E. un-plug and re-seat BOTH ends. Chuck D.
