There is no direct equivalent to the option key. You can hold down the "c" key to start up from the optical drive. You can press Delete-Option-Command-Shift (DOCS) to not have the assigned startup drive be used. In that case the computer will search for a bootable volume in a specific order of the available devices. Otherwise to specify a drive you have to be able to boot into a system and use the Startup Disk System Preference or OS 9 equivalent to select a boot drive. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
