The PB5300 is based on a NuBus architecture, and from what people have been able to figure out about 9.2.x, Apple seems to have removed some of the components needed for NuBus support. It won't run on a 5300 no matter what you do, although it can be hacked onto a 1400 with some difficulty. > > 9.2.2 will work only on a G3 machine so I would suspect Firmware > problems. Not exactly true. You can install 9.2.x on any PCI-based pre-G3 Power Mac or Powerbook with the help of OS9Helper. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
