ATI Radeon 9200 PCI

I'd take it back to when you replaced the hard disk - did you set master/slave on the new drive? The fact that it's chiming, booting to a grey screen suggests all is good - so I'…
Oops, missed those last couple of sentences.
The reason for asking was that I had a problem with a 2300c caused by overheating of a transformer on the logic board (one of those sq…

9.1GB SCSI hard disk
