I'm not sure really.  How do you turn the machine on?  Is it a soft-power
machine?  How do you turn it off if it is a soft-power machine?  Usually,
machines that can be made to automatically boot after a power failure have
a power button than can be locked down.  Do you remember being able to do
this?

I believe that the MacFACT's database has this kind of information.  You
can get a copy off of an info-mac mirror, if anyone is interested.

Later.
