Greetings Can anyone out there help. I have a powerPC 6500, 225 running 7.6.1 with a 68030 processor. I called Apple and the tech told me that this computer would run up to 9.0, so that shouldn't be the problem. I am trying to update my computer to 8.0
I keep getting the error " Sorry, system error has occurred, illegal instruction. To temporary turn off extensions, restart and hold down shift key. I have done that. When I turned off the extensions and booted up using the OS 8 as the startup disk I get the above problem. I have run the Norton Utilities disc and there were a few problems on my hard drive that the "doc" took care of. I turned off all my extensions except the start up disc and the cd-rom extension, reboot holding down the "c" key and still get the same error message. I have tried booting up from other discs and no problem occurred. But I put the OS 8 in the cd-rom and get that error message. Any suggestions where the problem is, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jan The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be October 22 For more information, see <http://www.aye.net/~lcs>.
