If you are in a hurry to get posts you can read them on the web. They are usually posted within seconds of being posted @ http://mail.maclaunch.com/lists/supermacs/List.html >There is no OS installed on the hard >drive currently. Does capslock turn on/off even when theres a blank >question mark on the screen? Also, should I be able to move the mouse >when I just get that question mark? If so then the ports are fried, >right? =( I re-seated all the cards(ram, processor, video), and >reconnected all the scsi cables. > I don't know the answer to the caps lock nor Mouse ?? But I wouldn't worry about that now. You need to get an OS on your machine see note below. > >I stuck in a 9.2 cd, and it recognized it and started booting to it. >Except it said I needed a newer version of the OS or something to run on >my machine. Now when I turn on the comptuer it just goes to a black >screen. Weird, huh? Not weird at all and the good news is your CDrom player boots! OS 9.2 will not install on your machine without first having an older OS on your machine and using some hacks. OS 9.1 is the newest you can install ( OSX requires OS 9.1 to install for example) >The drive installed is a Matsushita-kotobuki drive (that's what it says >on top of it anyway).

Also, I have the 7.5.3 installation disks, but it >says "this startup disk will not work on this macintosh model". Maybe >the ram is screwed up... > >Thanks, >Chris The oldest OS that I know will install is OS 7.6 and OS 9.1 the newest. 7.5.5 may work I don't know. Someone said that 7.5.3 would work but since you have disks and they don't work and I remember reading they don't.... So that is your next step finding an OS to install. best of luck Will S The -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
