Hi,
I'm new to the list but have been working with PCI PowerMacs for a long time. I've come up with a problem that I've never seen before and I thought maybe someone could shed some light on it - soluble or not!
You probably don't want to read the whole backstory, but I'm left with a Powercenter Pro 210 (Catalyst motherboard) that will start with a good chime and let me get into Open Firmware (via the serial port), but which I can't then boot using any kind of media - HD, CD, floppy.
I don't understand how I can get this far but not all the way. Could it be that my ROMs are blown or something like that? Does anyone know what the machine needs to boot fully that isn't necessary for OF, and hence what could be broken?
Thanks,
Jeff

If it has the equivalent of a CUDA switch I would press it .
Check the PRAM battery and or Zapp it.
