There was an email about booting up from CD burners from the list and discarded it but I wanted to add that you can also boot up using Shift option command delete which works quite well on my external scsi Yamaha 6x4x16, provided you don't have another OS on another HD or another partition; and of course, using the Startup control panel works. The key of C does not work. In my case, every time I used the shift, cmd, opt, delete, it would boot up from my other HD which had OS 8.1. I tried the shift, cmd, opt, delete and 4, which normally would access scsi ID 4 where I have the CD RW, did not work. The only thing that worked for me, to get it to boot up from the Yamaha CD RW, using shift, opt, cmd, delete was to take the System suitcase out of the System folder, then it looked for another OS and found the one on my Yamaha CD RW and booted up, rather than OS 8.1 on my other HD. If you have an external HD you could easily turn it off but I have 2 internal HD's. Then after I was finished, it restarted on my main HD which contains 9.1. CD Burners work very well. I thought it interesting that my external scsi Yamaha CD RW plays audio CD's through my main speakers and does not require an audio cable to the motherboard. All you have to do is toggle to SCSI ID 4 using your CDstrip module in your control strip. It proves that these internal audio cables are not necessary with the right drivers and hardware. -- "Macintosh fans may note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans and that numbers alone do not denote a higher life form." alternate e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OS 9.1 7300 w/G3 400/1 sonnet card, 272mb RAM Beige G3 Desktop 233 w/Motorola ZIF 466mhz processor, Rev B ROM DIMM, 320mb RAM (which are linked together by a MacSense 4 port DSL router) yamaha 6x4x16 external CDRW -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
