CONGRATULATIONS! :-) Boy, you must feel wonderful! :-) I know I will when my own G3 comes back. It's been gone just over a week so far. But, there's been SOME progress...as of yesterday, my bf just found a new mobo for it with an 83 Grackle, plus an AV card, and has read all the G-list responses I forwarded to him concerning questions he had and suggestions about what went wrong in our failed attempt to upgrade it. <I actually don't yet know whether or not the old HD is still good, and I'll check it at a later date, but I'm happy to be able to email at home instead of at work! I had had problems with an HD, so I got a new one from ebay, then was getting a blinking question mark when trying to boot from the OS 9 CD. A fellow G-lister offered to help me by phone and we went through a few things - turns out that since my CD-RW drive was set to slave and was on its own cable, it wouldn't boot up. Set it from slave to master, and it was happy.> I hope you backed up all your data. Is your new HD the same size or bigger than the old one? If so, then maybe, since the new one is known good, you can just switch permanently. At least, that's what I'd do if I had questions about functionality of the original HD and I had a new one I knew was good, and was at least the same size. However, I'm glad that in my case, I know the HD and the CD-RW drive are good and were set properly. Well, congrats once again, and have fun with your G3! :-) ~Yersinia. ________ "Some mornings it's not worth chewing through the leather straps." -- Emo Phillips -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
