When installing OS XSS by [EMAIL PROTECTED] A handy piece of advice if you plan on using OS X as your primary OS and still have a lot of OS 9 applications would be to make sure your hard drive has the OS 9 drivers installed on it. If you are just upgrading from OS 9 you do not have to worry about it, but if you just bought a new computer, or plan on just having OS X install on an older computer and using the OS emulator to use 9 you will want to make sure the drive is installed. What happens is that , if you ever need to boot up from an OS 9 disk, the hard drive will not bee seen as a mounted drive. Thus you will not be able to access any of your data on the hard drive from a classic environment. Another reason for installing the OS 9 Drivers would be that down the road you might want to for some reason install OS 9 and you won1t be able to. It never hurts to keep your options open. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
