Sure, I understand that it can happen (for various reasons) that a user can't get 9 to boot on an OS 9-bootable machine. But I was actually referring to the models that won't boot 9 because it's no longer possible to do so. Such as the ones detailed in the Small Dog info you helpfully provided: >PowerBook (12-inch) >PowerBook (17-inch) >Power Mac G4 (FW 800) >iMac (Flat Panel) serial number xx305xxxxxx or later >iMac (17-inch 1 GHz) I know of a few people who have bought a 15" LCD iMac that can't boot into 9. I see that eMacs are not included (yet?) so I guess Bryce is good to go with 9 on his eMac. Mary -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
