Hi, The installer refuses point blank and says you cannot upgrade this machine and quits without reason so I have to find some way to boot from cd as I do not get to the stage to sleect complete install? I might try an external cdrom drive I have.
>The only real issue with installing OS 9.x on the StarMax is that you >have to either copy the CD-Rom driver from OS 7.6.1, hack the driver >in OS 9, or use a 3rd party CD Driver. I have a starmac restore cd which boots successfully but only has 7.6 on it. It does not have FWB CDROM Toolkit so where on it do I find a 7.61 driver or how do I hack a 7.61 driver or where do I get a 3rd party driver preferably free. Downloa dlinks would be appreciated. If I modify my Macintosh 9.1 CD I assume somewhere in booting it must load the cd-rom driver and fail. How or where do I put the replacement driver on this cd so it will load. Does anyone know anything on how cd booting works on a Macintosh? Is stuff loaded from a boot block or load some how from the system folder? PS All 8 machine have an awful Hitachi drive. And I thought clones where supposed to be compatible???
