  That's weird. There _aren't_ any 4xx self-test codes, as far as I
know.

  And the "400" code is still displayed?

  Unseat & reseat all the SIMMs on their cards, make sure the RAM
boards' revision match the machine, and reseat all the MCA cards. Pull
the video card and the ethernat card, unplug all the drives and the
keyboard and start over.
  Nice box. I'll come get it if you're already tired of it. :)
