Oops! OK, well I just discovered that the cd needs to be pushed down into the tray.
We have a launch. System CD has booted. :) I am now restoring the hard drive in case it was corrupted in some way. I just happen to have an IMAC Service Source Restore CD. Have rebooted with Hard Drive as Start Up Disk. Dang, goes back to the flashing folder. But I am now able to simply load the cd and it will boot from that. Also am able to see contents of hard drive. All appears to be there. Drive has OS 8.1 installed. There appears to be 64 MB of ram. Key question: What jumper setting should this sole hard drive be using in an IMAC of early era? This could be the problem... Dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
