Because the installer is reading either the gestalt number of the 7300 and isn't finding what it expects or it is looking for a processor speed that you don't have. There is a 68k app called "Wish I Were" that allows OS 8.1 on '030 machines by fooling the installer. I haven't heard of a similar hack for PPC machines. I'd love to know if there is one. ===== Rondo __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
