[QUOTE="kay_mac, post: 32836"] I should mention what happens if I leave the keyboard or optical mouse connected at startup. The caps-lock light on the original Apple USB keyboard lights up and cannot be turned off. Once that has happened, the G4 will not boot any further, even if the keyboard is unplugged at that stage. Similarly, If I connect the optical mouse at startup, the red LED comes on, but it will not boot any further. Unplug either of these items briefly and reconnect; the lights don't come back on, but instead they just give a very slight flash. (The caps-lock light doesn't show at all on the Apple PRO keyboard at startup, although I am not sure of the reason for this) kay_mac [/QUOTE]
