There are two possible problems here: either OF lacks a not-too-buggy driver for the video card (this is the case on the 7200, for instance), or OF is set by default to not interact with screen and keyboard, but with one of the serial ports. The first problem happens on lots of the early Macs that had OF. Either the video drivers were buggy to the point of being totally useless, or even absent. If the second is the case for you (and it's worth a try), than do the following: nvsetenv input-device kbd nvsetenv output-device screen > Shawn is right, with Cmd-Opt-O-F Performa 6360 not get you into OF. See above. Cheers Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy. Study Art. 23, Rue Paul Henkes | Ask Questions. Make Mistakes.
