But not on the 8500. I bought OS 9.1 from Apple directly. It did not come on the machine. It couldn't have. The 7500 and 8500 machines came with 7.5 or so. I've had 9.1 install on the 7500 with a Sonnet Processor installed - on a clean hard drive! I won't tell if you won't. ;-) Someone suggested that it could be an LED problem? The little connector on the board that the LED cable plugs into is bent up slightly. Is this a bad thing?
