I have 9.2.2 on the 9 gig IDE HD, is this why I put the 10.3 on the 30 gig IDE? Hmmm, I just looked at Profiler and it says 9.2 is on ATA HD, I thought my mac guru friend called it an IDE HD, can they be one in the same? Profiler says I have a 'scsi card type 2' model 'ADPT,917306-01', does this answer? >...a few programs, notably Office 2001 (though Office 98 is fine) and Quark >Xpress do NOT run under classic, and will require rebooting into OS 9.
