If memory serves, it was common in that era of Mac to be able to depress the
power button and then rotate it into a locked position. I'm 100% certain
this was the case for all Quadra machines, and I'm 80% certain that feature
was continued into the first series of PowerMacs which reused many of
the same FRUs as the Quadras.
FWIW,

| Hi I have a PowerMac Performa 6500/250. Does anyone know if there is a
| way to get power on after power fail. I remember reading somewhere that
