>>what's the memory requirement for 8.1/8.5 installers? It's less than 24M (8.6 introduced the 24M minimum). But that's not your problem.

You could have 104M (like mine) and it still wouldn't install. For some reason, the installer or system on the installer disk just doesn't work on the 7100/80 model. One workaround is to install onto any other Nubus PowerMac (61xx, 7100/66, or 8100) or do a universal install on any Mac, then move the hard drive or copy its contents to the 7100/80. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
