Jim, I tryed again last night to install OS 9.04 on my Power Tower Pro 250, I currently have OS 8.6, and it still won't let me. It says the install can't be performed on this machine. Maybe it's like you say, the installer, I tryed my original CD from my Powerbook and my G4. I also tryed os9forever's installer but os 9 needs to be on the source disk. Any ideas?
