Oddly enough, the system folder on the OS 9.1 CD has NO CD drivers visible.
The machine will start from the CD. It will also start from the HD properly as long as the CD is in the drive. Removing the Extensions from the System Folder on the HD allows the machine to start properly, CD or no. Of course, starting the machine with no CD extensions in the System Folder means that no CD will show up on the desktop when inserted. Using Mount Everything, the drive is seen, but will not mount. Still an irritating mystery. Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
