Hey All,

I aquired two PowerMac G3 AIO's, 233 mhz etc, I have nothing but the unit- no keyboard, mouse, anything. I have a spair power cord that I plugged into the back of it, I flip that familiar switch next to the plug on the back of the unit, and I can hear that VERY slight electronic "chirp" noise you hear when you can kinda sorta tell theres 'juice in there... So I know they're recieving power, but I have no way of turning the two units on! Is there any way to do so without the keyboards? I need to see if these computers will start ASAP but I can't seem to find a way to do so, lacking the keyboards and mice. They has no USB otherwise I would use my iMac keyboard with the power key on it or other prepherials I have that may serve as a USB power-on device. Bahhh

Probably a no-brainer of a question and I apologize but I'm at whitts end here. Any ideas!?

Thanks in advance,
Carmine
