I took a foolish gamble and bought a G4 ditial audio (533) on ebay, picked
it up earlier today, and it doesn't work. It came without an OS, and I tried
to install 10.2.8, but it crashes around the license agreement screen,
sometimes at the screen, sometimes not until it asks to agree or disagree.
The 9.2.1 disc also fails to work, giving a blank white screen immediately
rather than an eventual crash. It also failed to boot with my former HD, an
external drive. The internal HD that came with the machine checked out in
disc tools. Might it be a (relatively) simple problem with the CD drive? Is
there anything I can do here? Could a service tech help me out, or is this a
known issue that simply means death? Thanks in advance for any responses. My
iMac just died, and the only way I could stay in my budget and stay with
Apple was to buy used.
Now I'm off to read the seller the riot act...
