This goes back a loooong time. I used to have an 8100AV that had the Sonnet G3 upgrade (I believe it was called the Crescendo). In any case, in order to get 8.6 to properly install I seem to remember that there is an extension that must be loaded first, otherwise the installer choked. It came with the upgrade card. You can make a custom 8.6 boot disk that has that extension on it, then fire up the installer. like i said it was a long time ago, and my memory might not be perfect... cheers alex -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
