Re: OSX on Wallstreet.

[B Gardner]

Allow me to add my experience. I too have had the same situation with a 
13 inch Wallstreet. When I try to install OS X, the installation 
proceeds until the last part of the process with Disk 1. I have watch 
it as it happens. The screen will dissolve to white or dissolve to many 
colors and go dark. What has been so strange is that I was able to 
earlier install OS X but now it just will not work. I have changed out 
hard drives, changed out processor boards (had a Sonnet upgrade so 
tried the original processor board), taken out RAM, added RAM, I have 
even disassembled and checked the screen for bad cables, wiring, etc. 
all of this resulted in the same behavior. I finally gave up and 
resorted to OS 9.2.2. It has me completely baffled! I would love it if 
someone out there could give an explanation about what is going on.

Thanks for the help about the above.

Now, I have a more serious difficulty.  For some mysterious reason the 
video display will start going haywire during the installation 
process.  Most of the time--this may be the 3rd or 4th--it will simply 
go blank and give me a white-blue screen.  This time--the 5th-- it has 
given many beautiful colours.   It must have gotten fairly well along 
in the install process as now the computer can't find a start-up 
volume, even with the OS X CD in the CD-ROM drive.

This really has me mystified.  I had NO problem installing X on the 
original HD--a 4 GB original.  It's tempting to go back to the 
original configuration say to heck with it all, but the extra space is 
needed for storage and for Classic.

Something else this machine is doing is not recognising CD's, in 
particular, CD-RW's.  It also will not always mount the OS install 
disc.  It has done this with both the OS and X discs.

Any ideas are welcome.

TIA
