I have an old Power Mac 7300/180 with Mac OS 8.6 on it. This computer has a Vpower G3/300MHz card in the L2 cache slot, that, as far as I can tell, works independently of any software (except for a control panel that is used to alter the L2 cache size). I tried using an OS 9.0 CD I had because I knew it would install on pre-G3 Macs, but time has apparently rendered it too scratched to be read.

I have a collection (almost as big as the Free AOL CDs) of OS 9.2, 9.2.1, and 9.2.2 CDs that I can't use on this Mac b/c it came with a 604. I know that it's possible to use OS 9 Helper to install 9.2 upgrades on non-supported machines, but I haven't seen any information that involves doing a clean install from the CD.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Benjamin K. Earle
