I used the option key - got the old little mac in the middle of the screen. Screen went black and it rebooted into OSX. Then same problem.
Tried again with OS9 install disk. It is up now. So it looks like a software problem. What should be my course of action to get OS X working on this machine? phyllis swanson http://home.earthlink.net/~psswanson ----- Original Message ---- From: Beniamino Cenci Goga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 9:20:14 AM Subject: Re: problem wallstreet My suggestion, just to rule out hardware problems is to boot it up with OS 8 or 9, as it was the original OS. I recall it can be obtained by pressing the alt (option) key at startup. Try this first and let us know.
