I bought the 9.1 disk from OWC who claimed it would work but it says on the disk that it's an iMac disk. So is that the problem? Is there some iMac component I can just remove from extensions or something?

I had 8.6 on both disks and that worked ok. So I installed 9.1 on my 2nd disk using a utility called Clean-Install Assistant that's supposed to keep track of various system components I've added. > One thing that might be a major change and help you > is to reformat your hard disks with Apple's Disk Utility- which is on > the OS 9 install disk.

When I install the new system it automatically refused to update the drivers because they weren't Apple. Being naturally cautious about upgrades I wanted to keep 8.6 available on one disk in case things didn't work smoothly with 9.1. One thing that occurred to me is that I haven't upgraded the driver on the 8.6 disk yet. Maybe that's interfering somehow.
