Thanks for the help guys. I now have OS 8.5 installed and running but
the machine is very unstable. It locks up after 10 minutes of usage.
Could this be due to the bad HD or due to the processor upgrade I did?
I put a Wallstreet 292mhz card and new 256mb chip in the machine. I'm
sure this all should be compatible with OS 8.5, right? This is not a
3rd party processor card--it's an Apple part.
Any ideas?

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?
sorry if this is a FAQ.
