Hi Norm,
For what it's worth, the power board on all these G4 form factors
(Sawtooth
to QuickSilver) are easily removable and replaceable - the power
board (the
small circuit controller board that is behind your power button,
usually
contained in a small metal bracket) would be my first
speculation. See if
you can obtain one on the swap list, being sure to specify that
you need it
for a Gig-E. Other than that, get a Pro-style keyboard that has a
soft power
button, equally inexpensive.
HTH,
Dana
The last apple keyboard to have the power button was the first USB
keyboard
that came with the iMac tray loaders, early slot loaders, and the
PowerMac G3
B&W. The Pro Keyboard DOES NOT have a power button
Correctamundo, Kasey...my bad. However, several third party keyboards
(MacAlly for ex.) continued the power button for a while longer;
perhaps
Norm can snag one of those.

Oh, it also might be worth noting that the Summer 2000 iMac DV i have
will not start with the power button on the keyboard (if i plug the
one in from the older tray loader.)
However, the first iMac slot loaders will.
