Hello Kyle. Thanks for the encouragement.
No I have not tried it yet. Did not want to unless I messed things up. I just pot it in the CD drive launched it on to the desktop. Then it said for G3 Powerbooks, not G3's in general only Powerbooks. As you said try it, if it is not suitable it should tell me. So I will give it a go then let you know. If you do not hear for a long time you will know I have a problem. Thanks again John Abraham. I'M A DWELLER ON THE THRESHOLD. ( Van Morrison ). BEAM ME BACK TO EARTH NO.1. ACTIVATE TRANSPORTER.

I presume you have tried it and it says "only for g3's" or whatever it= says, It's been a while since i saw the message and so i forget. If you havn't then try it, nuts to what it says on the disk. It my= experience if it's not going to work for your system it will tell you rather than kill it! If you have tried then, Yes this disk is meant for g3's only, i have= several around here (given to me), some wil lasctually only install on a g3, and some have a= check that can be bypassed by diggin down the folders on the cd and running the installer from there= rather that in the root. tell us all how you go.
