Re: bare minimum components
A black screen can be caused by having the IDE cable on backwards. If you have yours on, try reversing it.

Re: bare minimum components
ide cable not connected, does it need to be?
also the caps lock key light lights up and switches on and off when you press it, even press ctrl A & A 'resets' it

Re: bare minimum components
I don't think the IDE needs to be on. Sounds like yours is off, so the black screen issue is being caused somewhere else.

Re: bare minimum components
I think there is a bug in Diagrom with the RAM detection - mine shows more than 4 MB as well. I would put in a Kickstart ROM and try to boot it.
