Peter, I killed a IIsi once and it did the same thing. Problem was that the SCSI circuitry had blown out, thanks to the infamous cooling fan with its two little power contacts. Once, the fan wasn't working, so, I smacked it downward, while the machine was running and the case was open. Not a good idea, since the contacts shorted out against the external SCSI connector. Got a sad mac, then each time I'd try to reboot the machine, I'd get nothing except the power light and the hard drive spinning up.
Anyway, isn't your 9100 actually a 9500? If so, and the 8600 isn't a 250MHz or faster machine, you could try swapping the processor cards betwixt the two machines and see if the 9500 is then dead and the 8600 boots... If that doesn't help, then it may be time for a new motherboard. -J >Still dead, after taking out the disk, stuffing it in an 9100 >(waiting the prescribed 5 mins!) & cuda'ing it, was able to boot from >it & extract the stuff extractworthy on the disk. >Resat (resetted?) the Motherboard w/CUDA & logic board by pulling the >PRAM battery & power supply cables & pushing the Power switch & >waiting for 10 mins before replacing it. >No startup chime, but starts up from keyboard.
