[rescue] rescue Digest, Vol 223, Issue 21

Ah, the interlock switch. It took a while to find it, and when I wedged it
on the power came on. Thanks for saving me from a 120 mile drive to get
another power supply.

I don't have any Sun USB keyboards or mice. I have successfully used an SGI
USB keyboard and mouse on a Sun Blade 100, so I plugged them into the Sun
Blade 1000. I connected a known good and just tested 19" Sun/Sony monitor
and powered it on. I saw the CDROM light blink and heard a beep, but I
didn't see anything on the monitor. I waited several minutes, but nothing
changed.

I guess the next step is to disconnect the keyboard, connect a laptop to
the serial console port, and see if there is any life.

Thanks again for pointing out the interlock switch.
