From my experience with dead battery on PM 6100, even with it plugged in
overnight... when I first turn it on.. nothing.. then turn it off.. wait a
few seconds, turn on a 2nd time and it "bongs" and starts up fine...

Seems to me, that I had a 6110 (very similar) and it was one of the few
Macs
that would not start (at least the video) without a Pram battery.
The 6100 will start up with a dead PRAM battery, but it take patience. You
have to leave it plugged into the mains for a while and then sort of pump
the power button rapidly a few time. It can take a good 10+ attempts to
get
it to start, but it will.
