I replaced it with a free Apple 8x much better. I was lucky in that the C500 came with a 24x CD rom and it would boot some disks using the four finger Salute. When I installed OS 9.04 by mistake i held down the C key and it booted up! Every OS after that it has continued to boot disks with the c key but not with Mac OS 8.x Strange but true. I was able to test this as I had OS 8.6 on another partition and it was a no go. Will S
