You know, if you don't install the OS 9 drivers when you format a drive, you can't boot into OS 9, even though Classic still works. I keep wondering if all you need do is format the drive using an older drive setup, before doing the install. Unfortunately, I don't have a brand new Powerbook to experiment on� Cheers - Steve K. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
