The biggest problem I've seen on this list regarding installation of brand new Systems, is the loss of CD drive function. The new System will install a corresponding Apple CDROM driver which won't drive the Matsushita drive UMAX used. With that in mind, and with backing up your stuff also in mind... go for it. Oh, I almost forgot, if you can't boot from the OS 9.1 CD, you may have to boot from an external HD, or Zip etc. to do a clean install onto your internal boot drive. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
