I tried both the install and restore disks. They both booted in OS9, but refused to go any further. From what I'm told by another poster, it's a copy prevention scheme. I paid for OS 8.1, an OS 8.6 upgrade & system 9.0/9.1 when I bought the G4, I'm not paying any more. Any advice on copying my system folder over manually from the G4 would be appreciated such as invisible files, conflicts, firmware/driver updates, booby traps...
