Well, yes and no. The 7.6 CD should boot if you hold the "command-option-shift-delete" key combination. This will force the computer to try extra hard to use the CD-Driver on the 7.6 CD to boot from. It should work.
OS 9 and 7.6 are the only Systems which have universal CD-ROM drivers. In fact Mac OS 7.6.1 had the universal CD drivers replaced with one which required CD drives with the special Apple ROM (in case you are curious, the specific ROM is to keep Apple's CD driver from interfering with other CD-Reader's drivers). A simple work around is to use theDisk Tools floppy to boot the system while the CD is in the drive. The floppy has the universal driver if I remember correctly. When you see the CD installer come up just proceed with the install. Oh, and a copy of the Disk Tools floppy is on the 7.6.1 CD, I believe (sorry I haven't had a chance to look for a 7.6 CD). ~al _______________________________ From: "Simon Beehre" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Power Curve Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2002 16:52:13 +1200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've recently aquired a Powercurve 601/120 and no software.. i got acopy of system 7.6.1 on cd but cant seem to install it! The CD says it will boot by holding the c key down at startup... Was there any special setup disks that came with the Powercurve machine?? Any info would be a big help!
