After turning off AppleTalk from OS X, and whatnot, I decided to try once again to boot into OS9 from the Startup Disk menu. Amazingly, it actually managed to make it past the Happy Mac this time, as well as the Ethernet icon, and booted completely. QuarkXPress even works in native mode now (no idea what change made that happen). Mozilla (wish they'd make a version of full-fledged Firefox for OS9...) had some freezing problems, but a reinstall seems to have fixed that (knock on wood). So far, so good. I will continue to keep my fingers crossed, and hope that nothing else goes wrong. Addenum: here's an OS9-related issue which has been bugging me for a little while. To save hard disk space, I've burned several data CDs full of MP3s from my laptop (a Sony Vaio with roughly six times the total HD capacity of this Mac!). In OS X, every single file on the CDs show up. However, in OS9, only roughly half of them show up. Get Info shows the CD as containing 695.5MB of files, yet in the folder view, only 61 show up, when there should be 119. What could be causing this? -Adam
