Hi Will S.

Thanks for your feedback. The Mac OS install disk is an OS9.1 disk. And I am 
able to eject it while the computer is on. I removed the battery, unplugged the 
power cord from the computer and let it sit for 24 hours and have pressed the 
cuda button for a long while before attempting to power up again. I have held 
the key combination down for the PRAM Zap for 10 minutes starting up from the 
computer having been off but the chimes will not repeat. I never smelled smoke 
at any time. I've tried booting w/ a startup disk in the floppy drive but still 
no video. I've even disconnected the internal SCSI but it made no difference. I 
have tried everything suggested on the list. And I am very appreciative of all 
the responses but still no video.

Was the Mac OS install disk an OSX disk?? You can not install OSX by choosing 
it in the startup control panel on an old world Mac...You said you removed the 
battery. Was the machine unplugged from the wall plug?...pram zap should also 
work but needs to be done from off not a restart for "Black screen of 
death"...Unless the motherboard is physically damaged or you smell smoke  it's 
likely fine. If it's not an OSX cd in the drive well we may have to re-think 
this.
