Thanks in advance. > > Simon Stone > > > Simon, The MDD has a special version of 9.2.2 that has specific drivers for the hardware (a special mac rom file among other things) this is because the MDD came out AFTER 9.2.2 and the retail versions don't have the required drivers (as far as I know this is the only OS9 bootable Mac that cannot use the retail 9.x installer) if you have just copied the 9.2.2 system from your Pismo then it will probably work OK as a Classic folder but not if you try to boot from it, one way round this is to use a HDD on the second IDE bus (the 66MHZ one) as the primary 100MHZ bus is the one that requires a new driver, that would boot OK but not see any drives on the primary bus. The best thing is to install 9.2.2 from the original MDD disks then manually copy over what you need (Apple has an updated restore utility letting you use the disks in 10.4 as the one on the CD only works up to 10.3x) I cannot find the link to the updated restore utility on Apple's support site, but if you have the original CD's then I think I have a copy of the utility I could e-mail you.
