You know, I must say this is really getting annoying. Your patience and
offers of help are all appreciated a lot lot lot. Offers of a consoling
Scotch would be useful about now...

I have been so focussed on booting from the Norton CD that I haven't tried
booting from any others until now. So I have tried, and here's where we are.

I cannot boot from the Norton CD, which I have booted from in the past, many
times.

I also cannot boot from my Apple 8.5 CD.

And I cannot boot from the original Umax system CD.

In other words, I can't boot from any CD at all.

C500, 8.6, 144mb, G3/280, same old original CD-ROM drive. (I am not spending
any more money on this thing by buying a different CD-ROM drive. Already
spent too much.)

I am feeling ready to trash the whole thing and stumble blindly over to a
blue & white G3 (I think that's what it is) that a friend is giving me free
of charge. Mind you, I haven't even seen it yet, it has no keyboard, mouse,
or monitor, I know nothing about it, but right now it's looking better all
the time. 

AARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

You may now return to your regularly scheduled emails.
