First Boot
I assembled some ebay pieces last night and got my Indigo to boot for the first time last night.

* The SUN VGA adapter trick worked fine (rip out all non-ground pins)
* I luckily enough had kept a SOG Dell Panel around (didn't know it was SOG till last night)
* The USB to Key/Mouse adapter  was a bust - no mouse but keyboard works. I got the PS2 one just in case
* Hinv showed me the goods - this system has the Elan board
* It has 96G of Ram
* I knew about the TOD battery and soldered a new one in (thanks to the great docs here)

Thanks for your helpful info to make this first part a success. Next to to get a working mouse and try to network book and install 6.5 on this guy - using this SCSI to CF adapter I have (it's worked on Mac and Amiga).
