Not the screen backlighting, but reading your page I noticed your comment on the mouse. >From that vintage machine, it would use a serial mouse. Since it has 2 RS232 ports, you should be able to just plug one in. Was the hard drive wiped? If so, you will probably need to dig up a serial port mouse driver. Bill -- Psst... Hey, you... Buddy...
