I bought a used M4 Mac Mini a while ago, with the intention of trying to use Mac OS 9.x on it.  I had also bought a hard drive for it from eBay that was already set up to dual-boot OS X and OS 9, and also bought a RAM upgrade for it.  In the past, I had opened up a Mac Mini to do similar upgrades myself (though that was with an Intel Mac Mini), so I thought I could handle doing the same for the M4.  I got it open, put the larger RAM module in, and swapped the hard drive, but since then, it has been failing to boot.  It starts up but shows the ? icon that it doesn't recognize the drive.  I tried swapping the original hard drive back in, but it's still showing the ? boot icon.  I'm not sure what's happening with it, but I've been meaning to try to find a place that can repair it.  I seem to recall emailing Computer Renaissance in my area here (maybe you've heard of them, since you're in Oregon?) and I think they said they can repair it, so I thought of taking it there.  I just haven't yet..
