I found it, thanks! 

I have reset it (unplug, hold down for 20 seconds), reseated the CPU card firmly and then zapped PRAM.

I am using an HP 2011x which I have working perfectly with my G3MT.  I am using the exact graphics card from the G3.  The machine boot chimes, and then the clock is not set beep after it gets to the desktop but screen remains dark.  I am base config, 2x 64MB RAM chips, power, VGA, ADB mouse/keyboard.

I am using the same battery that I have in the G3. it was a pull from a Quicksilver for testing to get the G3 up and running.

I am not sure what other troubleshooting steps to take as the PRAM/CUDA reset accomplished nothing.  I went through this with the G3 using every PCI video card I could think of.  It was not until I put in the Radeon 9200 that I was able to get output to the display with that machine but even that was not enough to pull an output from the 8600.
