2/3 of the way there. I finally got the motherboard working, and successfully loaded an operating system. Next I'll try to install Linux.
Long story short: removed the battery from the motherboard, effectively clearing the CMOS settings. Corrected some incorrect cable settings and jumpers, and told the BIOS to boot from the optical drive.
Result: broken computer working again! One happy (and proud) computer geek.

Wow. I didn't understand any of that. Well, I'm glad that you're happy anyway :)
"Is there a translator in the house? Excuse me, does anyone speak Geek?"
Glad you got it working.
Bohemianism, I would say, is living life by one's wits -- being content with simply living; the world is one's home, and beauty in its simplest form -- be it art, experimentation, however one finds it -- is the secret to understanding.
Linux, huh? Wow. That is alot like brainwashing. What are you doing, Dave?
