I don't GET a start-up chime anymore. I can't seem to make Safe Boot work, nor can I get the Target Disk Mode to come up, so I can transfer my old CPU data to my brand new CPU. All seem to hinge, in one way or another, on getting that start-up chime! Do I need to do a PRAM reset? I think I'll try that anyway, whilst all you folks are considering my question1 ;-) keith whaley
