Yep, everything happens except the image in the middle of the floppy disk. I get the chord sound, mouse in the upper left, and gray screen.
The quadra and powermac 6100 need hard drives, so I ordered them for them. The one machine works fine so I needed the drive anyways. If this computer that we are talking about doesn't work even after being recapped and everything then I guess I can just throw the extra hard drive in my empty SCSI external enclosure. > On May 19, 2015, at 12:16 PM, Jeff Walther <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> On Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at 11:14:31 AM UTC-5, Jeff Walther wrote: >> >> >>> On Monday, May 18, 2015 at 11:37:37 AM UTC-5, Violet Cloud wrote: >>> After washing it it still only shows the gray screen. >> >> Does it make the start-up sound?
