Should have probably mentioned that this is a G3 iMac, does that fix

Well, as most of you probably forgot, I upgraded the systemboard in my
G3 from 350 to 400mhz, and added the firewire package that came along
for the ride.
Now i've got a conundrum.
It won't boot into target disk mode.
I hold down "T" and it'll get to the point where it's supposed to go
to target disk mode, and restart.
Is there some reason that the G3 350mhz chassis won't let it go to
target disk mode, or is it just a screwed up board?
In that case, you definitely should have Target Disk Mode. It's likely
either the HD or the logic board. Try disconnecting the IDE cable from
the HD (just the HD). Put a CD in the optical drive and try Target Disk
Mode. The CD should be visible on the other computer. This isn't a
fix, just a test to identify the problem.
Check out this link at Apple:

It mentions iMac (Slot Loading) (the first generation of slot loading
iMac) works in TDM IF the firmware is 2.4 or later. This sounds like it
might be yours so check your firmware if you can.
