I have found that both XPostFacto and SonnetPCIX Install 1.2.5 work just fine for the installation of OSX on my Supermac s900. However, only to a point. This point is the same for both programs. If you follow the directions precisely, they both hang up when the startup disc becomes MacOSX. That is just before allowing Mac OSX to load. In one of the programs there is a warning that this will occur because the CD ROM drive doesn't know how to mount an OSX CD. Since I don't really need OSX on my Supermac I have stopped trying. However, I would still like to know what steps are necessary to make the CD ROM drive load the OSX CD. Can someone tell me? Robert Kay -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
