Hmm. Well the jumper was to be used in conjuntion with a never-forthcoming ROM SIMM. Let's attack the problem from the switch at the rear. Is it flush with the case or does it protrude? IF it doesn't protrude, use a screwdriver to get it to do so. Then see if the keyboard switch will make it boot. Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
