Well, I've got 10.2.8 on it, but I _still_ can't get 9.0 to boot to install the updates to get it to 9.2.2. 9.0 is installed to the 2GB drive (most likely out of the first 8GB, but I've done it to the first partition too), but when you specify that drive as the startup drive, it restarts, then restarts X again. I need to get it running for Quicken 2000. If it weren't for that, I could do away with it. Brian -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
