You should still be able to boot it. There is a composite RCA output on the back. That will plug into anything that takes composite video (TV, VCR, game/tv adaptor box, whatever). It also uses a standard PC power cord. Plug those two things in, flip the switch, and you should get to the BIOS boot screen that will tell you the rom version. You won't get much further without software, drives, keyboard and anything else you might want to use... but at least you should get as far as knowing the ROM version. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
