Try Apple's CD driver 5.3.1, which supports most SCSI CD drives. You can get it here: http://www.macdrivermuseum.com/disk.shtml You can also try the Toast extension. > Where > can I get a restore CD for this system. They do not seem to be manufactured > anymore. I think the best place to start searching for a system CD is ebay. Mac OS 9.1 is the latest OS that runs without hacks, so stay away from 9.2 CDs, and make sure the CD is not machine specific. Mac OS 7.5 is a free download from Apple's website, however, I'd recommend 8.5 or higher, at least 8.1. >What do you folks use your Supermacs for? Doorstops? Naa, my S900 is still my main "workstation". These old machines are nice to upgrade, with a lot of RAM and a faster processor you can even play around wit OS X. Or use it as a server, router, typewriter, CD copy station, Internet/game station for the kids,... >I am a newbie when it > comes to Macs much less Supermacs...
