Thanks, but earlier I mentioned I was able to boot from another OS 9 CD. The problem was not the machine, but the install media! It booted (or, at least, it tried to) from a Panther install CD.
And Gorka: to me, it feels fast! Indeed a lot faster than my 5200, and all of my older 68k Macs... but for heavy work, general web browsing and iTunes, I use my 2006 iMac! But I can't play those older games on the iMac, nor can I talk properly to older hardware like my flatbed scanner... MM On May 5, 1:13 pm, Mark Sokolovsky <[email protected]> wrote: > I have an idea.
