My hard drive starts giving me I/O errors (hehehe... yeah, SURE they're I/O
errors, this is a HARD DRIVE, you stupid machine!)

So I switch the IIgs off, pull the controller card, re-seat it, and power
back on.

I'm treated to a display of a white rectangle filling the foreground, and a
black background, on the screen.

Nothing else.

The drives don't move, the Apple IIgs copyright message doesn't come up, the
typical startup *beep* is silent.


IS MY MOTHERBOARD DEAD???    PLEASE SAY NO!!!!

(any ideas??)
