My point was, if you don't want to spend the money for the bona-fide universal CD, you can get these "iMac" CDs on eBay for MUCH less than $50. I usually buy those for folks who have 233-333 iMacs and want to update to OS 9.1 just so they have something. Some 350's came with 8.6 but most came with 9. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
