Hey guys, been a while..

I'm literally stumped.

I CAN NOT get this DA G4 [dual 533] to boot OS 9 anymore.. It use to a year ago, but since then it's been running Tiger on an Apple software RAID.

I've taken out all of the PCI cards, swapped video cards, tried Discs for: 9.1 [a disc that has been tested on other machines], retail 9.0/9.0.4 [Even though they're not supposed to work], 9.2.2 for iMacs V1.0 and 2.0 [i use a 700Mhz G4 iMac disc for all my 9.2.2 installs at home and it works perfectly], I've zapped the PRAM, set the disc to start from the OS X startup pane, set the disc to start from the Option-Boot screen, reset-nvram and set-defaults in open firmware, restarted, hit the CUDA/PMU/etc button on the motherboard, tried taking a RAM stick out, tried booting from different CD drives [that can see the OS 9 CDs perfectly fine if I hook the RAID drives back up], disconnected all drives except the cd drive, tried the CD drive on both motherboard ATA connectors and on a Sonnettech ATA/133 card.

AND NOTHING! It does the gray blinking folder ?/Finder icon for a couple seconds and then switches to the light gray blinking floppy disk ? screen.

I'm totally out of ideas.. Anyone?
