I'm trying to get this iMac G5 to start from an installer disc in
order to format the new drive. And now I have a black screen with a
little blinking white square in the upper left corner. It feels like
the damned thing has gone Win 3.0 on me. What can be done in this
enviroment?

I'd like to thank John Carmone for sending me the Rom updater for the
G4. It solved the problem.
I had a G4 which was one of the to the Dump G4's I got from work.
I wiped the hard drive and installed OS 9 and upgraded it to 9.2.2.

I think you can find the AHT for your specific computer on Apple's
Support site. Maybe someone can point you to it,
It is a 2005 iMac g5 (ALS). It should have 3 Phillips screws on the bottom. If
it does, open it and look for signs of leakage on the capacitors. Otherwise,
I'd say the hard drive is dead.

This doesn't really tell how to determine if it is a Rev A, B, C, or D.
Well, it does, but it does not really give you a way to determine
which hardware you have. I have checked About this computer but that
does not give the processor or processor speed. How do I find this out?
