Way too fast- there should be a cli option to alter it or use Disk Utility.app directly. >> Which model do you have? >> http://www.everymac.com/systems/powercc/index.html > > 210 > >> You should be able to hear the drive attempt to read and spin up >> before it >> ignores it- does inserting the CD cause a delay in boot time? >> >> Let us know how it goes. > > With Mac OS 8.5 running I inserted the CD.
