Well, I got my G3 from the ebay deal a while back. Anyhue, I've got one major issue bugging me. It appears there is a "trickle" cord (4-pin, used for soft power i do believe?) that is needed to start up the comp.However, there seems to be no plug on the motherboard for this to insert into. I was wondering if it is hidden somewhere, or if anyone knows how to "trip" this circuit into turning the machine on. Any thoughts would be appreciated. ~The Penguin P.S.- I know this isn't 68k related at all, but everyone here is know it alls or atleast darned close! | Captain, Intelligence Operations / Space Cowboy |
There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.

 I JUST found out its the power for the zip drive or other small-ish devices. Heh. Told you I didn't know my way around. But now I do have to figure out why it doesn't turn on.... ~The Penguin | Captain, Intelligence Operations / Space Cowboy |
