That explains everything. Because you live in the UK, there is a barometric pressure problem that afflicts the ROM on 6200's. To upgrade to OS 8 in the UK on these machines, you need to download the ROM flash from apple.com which is called UKBpres.rom and use it before you upgrade to OS 8. Is that true? I wonder if it is still on their website. S'funny that, I always thought that folk from other parts of the world were a bit 'light-headed'! Seems I was right. The funny thing about it is that if you go straight to OS 9, there is no need for the upgrade. I believe it has something to do with the 8 looking like two bubbles on top of each other..... :)) <!-- #EndEditable --></TD> And the 9 looks like a sperm. So mebbe something fantastic will grow on my machine! Lightning strikes................................ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
