Is there something different about the > SuperMac from other Macs in starting up from a CD? ----- The short answer would be, no, you can boot only with the original Umax system CD.... Your Matshita CD drive is not Apple ROM'd, if that is the correct jargon. I run Disk Warrior from and external SCSI CD burner, using the CTR/OPT/Shft/Del keys during bootup and then holding down the #3 key as soon as the smiley face appears for booting into 9.1. For 7.6.1, I think it is the #1 key, but not absolutely sure - depends on your DW version. If you have easy access to a SCSI CD drive or burner, your troubles will be over sooner then the hacking and other workarounds some folks have had success with to make the Matshita drive bootable.
