As a former owner of a 6100, I need to ask some questions on your setup:
To connect ethernet to this box, you need an AAUI adapter. Is this what
you have? Have you tested your ethernet setup to see if it works on
anything else? The ethernet system extension must be installed for
everything to work.
It is always best when having these kinds of issues to reinstall NCU.
OS 7.6.1 replaces some extensions that NCU needs to function.
The video board should have a standard connector for Mac video
connectors (unlike the built in system, which uses a special high
energy connector that was never used for anything). You need a special
adaptor for the standard connection or a Mac to PC video dongle for the
video board.
This pizza box setup is very prone to heat issues and additional
cooling is a good idea. I fried mine with processor and video board
added on.
BTW - I have the adaptors for this beast, both the main board video and
an AAUI adapter. Contact me off list if you need these.
