Thanks for the tip! I'll boot up the ol' iMac and install XpostFacto after dinner and get with everyone with a progress report. Thanks! -Jeremiah

If you install XPostFacto 4.0 (XPF4) onto the iMac 10.3.9 HD BEFORE transferring it into the Beige G3 there's a good chance it will boot OK in the Beige. XPostFacto 4.0 won't mess up the iMac HD for the iMac either, it's compatible with so-called "new world" Macs also and can be useful to enable Firewire booting on the old B&W's that didn't allow Firewire booting. --You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
