This is a lot more frequent than you would think.. I have two different sets of iso's burned on two separate computers.. And while one set installed fine on both of my G3/300's.. It was no joy on my 6500/250. 7200/120 and 8600/300. While the other set worked on those.. And as you guessed the second set did not work in the G3's. Just thought I would add my $.02..
