Hi I scored this machine from the street without kb/mouse and was still able to get it to boot to the os. I scored a kb/mouse today and tried it but it didn't boot. There were some sounds from the box but nothing showed on the monitor. The light on the monitor stayed yellow/orange rather than green. It is a samsung monitor that has a samsung adapter. The kb/mouse that I found says on the back family number: M3501. So is this ok? I don't know much about mac's especially these older ones but I liked the idea of learning from it.

What machine is it? Does'nt boot how, whats the message your getting, or is it a question mark? Can't read your mind. M3501 is the model number for an old ADB extended keyboard, a nice one at that.

Got rid of the machine 0_0

Why? I have a 128K still in the box, plus about 50 other machines cause I have no life, so why?
