PBP won't boot (no amber or green LED)

Thank you, @as400. You cleared up my confusion about maskrom mode. I will add that info to the wiki for the next person who falls for this pitfall.
By some divine intervention, I successfully got into maskrom mode! Oh yea!
What I did differently was use a tweezer, instead of a paperclip, and had "journalctl -f" running. The tweezer was easier for me to grip with one hand while I used the other hand to press the reset push-down button. I saw output on my second machine, which was connected to my PBP via USB, that indicated the PBP was detected. And then running the "rkdeveloptool ld" command showed a connected device.
