Hmmm, I could see it being forced to Open Firmware and telling me to provide
a boot device, but the thing doesn't even run the POST tests. I switched the
PRAM battery with one from another Apple computer. The other Apple Computer
seems to work fine but the ANS still won't boot. So I'm still saying ROM or
CPU card.
