This PTP 225 came to me as a case (in fine condition) and logic board (in unknown condition) only. There was no cache card. I know the PPC 9500 fairly well, as my scarred knuckles will attest, and I hoped, perhaps forlornly, that that knowledge might be helpful with this incarnation of the Tsunami MLB.

I have supplied the PSU, CPU, (FPM) RAM, drives and intended expansion cards. Absolutely zilch sign of life at intended startup—by which I mean boings and drive-reading—is not promising, however. LEDs light; PSU huffs and puffs; but video is conspicuously wanting. Regrettably, it is now time for some systematic troubleshoon, starting with the speaker. I may even (grits teeth ...) have to install an FDD for SCSI-independent startup.
