This reminds me, i miss my powermac 6100/60.  It will make the boot
noises but I never get any video out.  I didn't use it for a year or two
and it has tons of mail for several years that i'd like to recover.  I'm
sure i could snarf it off the drive, but it'd be cool to get it back on
the lan and use it again.  this was back in like 93/94 when i thought
there was money to be made in designing web pages...i'd love to look at
all that old data.  anyone have any ideas about a system that seems
_completely_ functional but never gives any juice on the video?  it's
onboard vid of course.
