I thought you said you can ping it?

Hmm, so it's not booting or the drive is dead. Anyway, I used that MacImage software to supposedly create an image with an autostart app on it, but it won't burn. This is becoming very frustrating!

I wonder whether the machine will boot from an IDE HDD? If so you could install OS 8 on to a HDD from within an emulator and put the VNC server in the System/Startup Items folder, then boot the PowerMac from it. The VNC server should then start on boot.

Buring boot the PowerMAc issues a few beeps that I'm not expecting... I suspect that the machine is halting on error... ie no keyboard....

Bloody non-standard connectors... why not just use PS/2 and VGA ports? :roll:

Not a huge amount of help if the machine doesn't actually boot though. Well I'll have to give it a rest for the night - I've got revision to do tomorrow so need some sleep!

Because they didn't exist when the Mac connectors were introduced?

Meh, I suppose I'll let them off then :roll: ;-)

I love the sound of the W-30...  for Moto: the main industrial sounding riff on Under Moonlight ;-)

I *love* that sound! :-)

I wish I could remember the original sound source... suffice to say it had a slow birthing process :-) Only for it to be mostly covered up by the guitar in the final mix  :-x

Well, you can hear it. I really like that song :-)
