[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1711665, member: 42497"] That date and time to 1970 is always the sign the PRAM battery needs replacing. Regarding the external drive, I trust you are not trying to boot from it? With USB1, the first iMac with USB2 was the 1GHz model a year or two later, booting will probably not be possible. FW400 should work if the external drive caddy is FW400 capable. [/QUOTE]
