It took me an interesting month to install system software from CD and Cdrom. Sometimes an icon of the CD would appear on the desktop and sometimes not, sometimes everything would appear more dimensional and full coloured, sometimes if the CD loaded the info didn't seem to be all there. It was very inconsistent but eventually somehow worked--the original 2400c system and the 8.0 and 8.5 were successfully taken in. Even with help and encouragement from someone on the list here, (Thanks again!). I really don't know exactly what I did differently in the end. By some miracle it worked. My EarthLink CD arrived in the mail and I tried to load it. But now the CDrom and the 2400c seem to have nothing to do with one another! Not even a partially apearing CD icon on the desktop. Zilch. The cd-rom shows up in the drives folder--where one initializes disks--there it is listed after the 'macintosh harddrive'. The very helpful Internet Setup Assistant enabled me to configure the connection and go online. I've considered purchasing another CDrom. One that comes with drivers. The one i ave here doesn't appear to hav anyname on it. Its a 24x long fary lightweight offwhite coloured rectangular box. After installing the origial software systems and updatesno notice appeared advising any need for firmware updates. Anyone know what might be the problem (aside from me being a confounded newbie! ) ?
