My problem, though, seems to be that installations in _general_ (not just system installations) don't work via SCSI. My attempts to install Nisus Writer (from the Performa's CD drive) were also unsuccessful. But I will try doing the universal system install as an experiment, or that control panel you mention (I think it's called "Wish I Were"). Thanks for the suggestions.
