The manual for the PTP says to use the cmmd-opt-shift-delete but OS 8
was the OS at the time. I think the later OS's added the "C" option.
But I could be wrong.....
I'm am glad to see there's some action on the PowerComputing list.
On another note about my favorite computer (PTP 250), I recently found some PowerComputing machines that came from Disney and were used by their pre-press dept. at Disneyland in Orlando.
A pretty cool find and they were cheap. I got 2 PTP 225's one complete
and one not complete but works when I tested it with some extra parts I have.
Also included was a PowerWave 604/150 that's not booting for some reason.
That will be another post......
I got them for a great price and the really cool part is that the Disney
staff left all the stuff on the hard drives. There's all the normal design
apps, but there is a bunch of vector Disney art on the drives.
Really cool stuff......
I guess living in Disneyville does have it's advantages even though everything seems to be sooooo Mickey Mouse around here.

Recently acquired a Pwr Comp Power center 132. I would like to boot from CD and reinstall OS, but altho boot disc shows on desktop, a restart with C key down does nothing. Should not this process be the same as in all my Macs?
Nope. To force boot from a CD use the famous "four finger salute". Hold
down: command+option+shift+delete keys while starting up. Using the
"C" key for force boot came along after Power Computing's heyday.
