Thanks for the reply. I hope to this week open up the c500 and get it
running again. I have this old PaperPort scanner I was thinking of
hooking up to it's SCSI port. If I have any other issues, you know
I'll post 'em here. Thanks again for writing!

Just dug up my old SuperMac c500 LT model. HAven't used it in a long
time and I was wondering if this computer needs a true "Apple"
manufactured display. I've tried connecting a ViewSonic 17" model
multisync monitor to it but no luck. I tried booting off of the
original SuperMac factory CD (in case HD is no good) but I don't get
anything. Do I need to check on the battery?
Karl,
Sounds like a dead battery to me. After you check the battery, when
you boot up, Zap the PRAM. When our Apple monitor died, and we
replaced it with a 17" ViewSonic, the video card got confused and was
trying to display a resolution that was not compatible with the VS
monitor.
