You want a "retail" CD. These are usable on any supported model. An "Install CD" is usually specific to the model with which it was supplied. A CD-R is indeed a copy. There is a 9.0 "retail" CD, a 9.1 "Upgrade", which also works with any supported model. And a 9.2.1 and a 9.2.2 "Upgrade", which also works with any supported model. 9.1 is as far as you can go with the PTP, IIRC, or any 604 Mac or clone. -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
