>no, it's just for OS9. Besides, it's only a 1.3 gig drive I used to run OS X on one drive and 9 on another. >Just tried both those... and this is what happens... the machine >looks like its going to boot in 9 from the cd, gets the light grey >background, and the os9 style cursor, then flashes back to dark grey >and nothing happens... Hmm. Try a PRAM reset (yes, I know it's pretty lame... ;). So you selected your CD-ROM from Startup Disk and restarted but it didn't boot? One possibility is that you could use a networked computer to do the install. install OS 9 on another drive and copy it to your OS X drive. >Is this bc I specified my main, master drive as no OS9 drivers... >maybe that was a dumb thing after all.... That won't make a difference to the CD not booting into OS 9!!!
