Hi,
I have a PowerMac 7100/66av (almost 10 years old now) and i broke like
half the keys on the keyboard and the mouse, i was wondering if there is
any
way to do one of the following to get it up without them.
Make a disk of some sort which runs and sets up VNC and the network?
Get a MkLinux disk that sets up the network and sshd?
thanks,
torquil

Why can't you just get a new keyboard and mouse? They're usually
available pretty cheaply surplus. Here, I can get them for $5ea.

Oops I forgot to mention that the ethernet transceiver is also likely
broken.
You can't get those for $5 too can you? :)
