SO I have a power wave with an XLR8 (I think - not sure) G3 300 card in it. I stripped the parts long ago, but today pieced it back together. I lost the speaker though. I tired booting it up and nothing, then reset the cuda - then I get gray for a split second and my mouse then the screen goes dark, then back again.

I switched the power off again and took the PRAM battery out and reset the cuda. Nothing happens now - this is a real bummer since I bought 2 10,000 RPM SCSI drives today

I have an adaptec card in it that supports 68 pin connections, an ATI 4MB card and I don't know how much RAM. It's all seated well. The cache DIMM is not in, and I seem to remember that you might need it in there for the compy to work with a G3 upgrade...

Anyway - anyone have any other ideas besides getting a new PRAM battery?
