No not weird at all... the last System we can run on our old S900's is System 9.1. Anything newer will not install. There's some hope though, since it started to boot from that 9.2 CD. It'd be nice if you could get an older Apple System CD (7.6, 8.0, 8.5, 8.6, 9.0 or 9.1). Sounds like it might boot and install. > The drive installed is a Matsushita-kotobuki drive (that�s what it says > on top of it anyway). It is terminated and the sector jumper is taken > off. There are jumpers on "1" and "2" though. I can't get my os 7.5.3 > cd to work.. Hrmph.

Now if you can just get your hands on a good System install CD. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
