Well here's my 2 cents for what it's worth ;-) I agree for the most part with others ideas. I have read that the Radeon 7000 blank screen is taken care of in both 10.1.5 and 10.2. The fix is to choose it as the "output" in XPfacto at the top (input is keyboard) i don't own one but doing this fixed some problems with the ATI Rage 128 card series as well which I do now own.In any case the Ultima Rez should work if in slot 1 or 2. The ATI 7000 also likely needs slot 1 or 2. You will need to do hacks if you want to be able to boot into 9.2x If you have any version of OS 9.x.... 9.1 is a free download from Apple. It boots and runs well as classic with no hacks. 9.2.1 crashed my machine when ran as classic but that doesn't mean it will for you. So I went back to OS 9.1 . You might want to also join the unsupported OSX lowend mac group. This (the supermac group)is a better/more helpful group in many ways.IMHO. A number of people from here are now there so it's getting better!Also many different machines are being used so not all ideas will apply to our machines. Best of luck.
