Hi,
At my works amongst our various Macintosh clones we have 8
StarMax 3000 / 180 fitted with 32mb of RAM or greater. We have just
recently purchased a MAC OS 9.1 full install disk and wish to install it
to these Clones. If successful we will invest money to upgrade the
memory to get these machines in a usable configuration.
The problem I am facing is I cannot get these macs to boot from
the CD? Holding down the C key or selecting the start-up disk as Cdrom
causes the machine to show a happy Mac icon and attempt continually to
access the CD but no loading occurs, on removing the disk the hard disk
loads as normal.
On normal booting from the hard disk the cdrom is viewable on
the desktop but install insists it cannot be run so I have to boot form
the disk. The machines we have curently have a varied number of system
installation 7.1 / 7.5 / 7.6 / 8.0 and it wound be nice if we can get
them all to the same level / state.
What I am wondering is how can I convince these machines to boot
form the disk so I can install the system software. The disk has been
used successfully to upgrade many iMacs / UMAX Pulsar and UMAX 603e/180
machines.
Thanks
Chris
