Hi everybody, First, I have to thank you all for coming to my rescue in this juvenile mess I have made here (for which I have no excuse, since I'm no longer that young), and for sharing such a bounty of expertise.
I am starting the whole thing from scratch, and will post results as soon as I get them. One thing I can attest to: the Wallstreet was running Mac OS 9.2.2 (copied from a Pismo) very well, with two caveats: 1) Although its Wavelan Silver card was recognized as an Airport card, powered, and supposedly connected to the network, it couldn't really connect to the internet. 2) Although a DVD decoder card was present, it could not play DVDs. Don't know why. Right now I repartitioned and I'm installing OS 9 from scratch and then will do the incremental thing till 9.2.2, then Xpostfacto, and then we'll see. Thanks to all again, Felix On Oct 16, 12:39 am, Ashgrove <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I just got a nice 300Mhz Wallstreet II (aka PDQ) that boots fine into > OS 9.2.2.
