I got my hands on a barebones 7100, in not the best shape. I cleaned the logic board, but have not yet recapped it (I'll do that eventually, but caps take a few days to arrive and I want to make it work before then if possible). I'm using a modded ATX PSU since the stock one immediately turns off.
When I power up the machine, I get a chime, but only out of the headphone jack. I'm assuming there's an issue with the switch that tests for the presence of headphones, since the jack is super rusted. After that, I get no other signs of life. I connected a SCSI2SD hoping it would try to boot off it and I would see activity on its LED, but no dice. Any ideas? This machine doesn't have its PRAM battery installed, so I also tried the on-off-on trick.
I don't have one of those HDI-45 adapters (they cost an absurd amount on eBay), so I'm just trying a NuBus video card I had laying around (an eMachines one) since I read that these machines work with NuBus video. Are there any restrictions on them?
