Now I remember how the hell that stupid power switch works...it doesn't. Fortunately, the PS/2-to-Sun converter I have comes with a built-in power button for just such an occasion...! The Ultra 2 is more or less alive and well, although it's being a little crotchety - it's insistent on running the full POST suite before even giving me OpenBoot access over the serial port, to say nothing of displaying anything on the monitor. The POST halts with the message "OBIO Interrupt is in an incorrect state," whatever that means. It's not a dead battery, since it's bugging me for the firmware password when it finally does give me the OpenBoot prompt...

Nearly a gigabyte of RAM in this sucker!
