That's very promising. I'm currently running 10.3 and 10.4, but I just bought a 
set of original software restore disks since my retail 9.0 installer was too 
old (half the reason I wanted a Pismo was to run OS 9 applications natively). 
The software restore disks should get here in a week or so, let's hope that 
solves the problem.

Thanks,
Steven
