Hi,
I have the white CD marked 1997. I bought it retail
probably in early 1998. I have used it to start up a
quadra 840av and a quadra 800.
My method for starting a computer with a CD is to
first start up from the hard drive. Then put the OS CD
in and choose it from the startup disk control panel.
Then I hit restart. I seem to remember having a
problem starting from the disk by holding down the C
key. I'm not sure though.
David
