I am presuming you meant upgrade to 9.1. I'm not sure about the NewerTech G3 cards, but it would not surprise me if they, like Sonnet, require a different, upgraded, enabler/extension to be compliant w/ the OS 9 family. Check the NewrTech site for more info., or wait to see what one of the many Newrtech gurus have to say. Also, did you update the HD's driver (needed to bump up from OS 8 to OS 9)? That has been a culprit for me in times past. > I restarted, put in the install disk and held down the "c" key. It took > forever to come up and when it did it did not recognize the CD.

Everything" which you can put on a floppy; Zap PRAM (start and hold down the Command-Option-P-R keys), restart w/ the Norton CD (or better yet, if you have them, Tech Tool pro or Disk Warrior) and get to the desktop - stick in your Mt. Everthing floppy, launch ME, and see if it can mount the HD; if not, then I'm guessing the HD will need to be reformatted. > HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP! > > TIA, > > Dan Best wishes, Dana -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
