This is a follow up message. Couldn't find my original query from a
month or two ago. Wanted to let you all know the outcome - and to make
a big public thank you to John Carmonne for going above and beyond and
babysitting me through the process of getting Tiger running on my
Pismo.
John might chime in and fill in details since I'm sort of
technologically lacking - but essentially all I had to do was make a
clean install of OS 9, make sure all the Apple firmware updates were
already installed (they were already in my case), then install Tiger
via the regular Apple installer disks. The only hitch came in trying
to use the machine before getting every last one of Apples updates.
Those are critical. When I had only installed half of them (I think
there were 9 - can't remember exactly) my computer stopped recognizing
the trackpad and various other non-nice suprises. That freaked me out
for a while - but I plugged in a usb mouse, and continued installing
the Apple updates. Once they were complete the system has been running
like a top!
I don't know what went wrong with your install but I put Tiger on my
Pismo and it was a very straight forward, normal installation.
