The OS 9 driver option is somewhere near the beginning of the format process. Keep your eyes open for it (no need to be in a big rush). You don't want to miss that and proceed with the installation. You'll have to start over if you miss it. BTW I also recommend, after you install 9.2.1, updating it to 9.2.2. It's a free update, although quite large. And make sure you have all of the OS X security updates as well. I'll let some others fill you in on those details. When I put OS X on my Wallstreet, I used the 10.2 installer disks. Then I had burned all of the other OS and security updaters on another CD and proceeded to bring everything up to snuff very easily and quickly. OS 10.2.4 was the current version at that time, so that's as high as I went. Oh, I don't mean to sound insulting, but you will lose everything that's currently on the H.D. when you format and partition. So if there's anything you want to keep, back up the new drive beforehand. HTH, Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
