I need help. I' m very new to Macs. Just got a Wallstreet from eBay. First time I turned it on it didn't get past the OS 9.2 splash screen. Second time it did boot and I launched IE. The some icons on the desktop started to disappear and a message said that my disk was damaged.
Now when I boot I just get a picture of a floppy with a question mark. I do not have OS 9 CD but I do have an 8.5 CD. I put that in but a message comes up with a bomb saying to hold shift and restart.
How can i get this machine back?
The Wallstreet requires a minimum of OS 8.1 so that's not the issue. Does the 8.5 disk you have list specific Mac models? If it does then it's not going to work with the Wallstreet as it is for only those models. You need a generic installer that works on all machines.
