[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 543956"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, Dehumanized. I would think (but I could be wrong) that OS 9 might be the one not accepting that WinBox keyboard of yours and maybe it is looking for an Apple keyboard to startup properly. Of course, the Power Mac G4 could very well have a messed up system: the flashing icon inside a floppy means it is looking for a valid OS to boot from. Can you try starting it up by holding down the [I]Shift[/I] key? This disables all Extensions and Control Panels: so if one of those is creating a conflict or is incompatible, it will be disabled. Report back and let us know how it went. Good luck! :) [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] About that ATM error: [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60535"][B]Mac OS 9: Adobe Type Manager, Type Reunion Compatibility, Error -119[/B][/URL].
