Thanks Laurent, I have tried my another 8.6 CD that I used for my faithful and heavy G3 beige...also I tried to boot the 8.5 that came with the beige... still defauts to 9.2 Like I said I have used the CD-ROM to load the Latin Vocab drill program...doesn't that mean it is working? so does this leave that thats still something with the OpenFirmware password, and isn't that what John was advising? if not how can I find out what the password might be? I still have contact with the seller, who has been helpful, I just didn't want to bother him to much...i do have the option of returning the Lombard within 30 days, but I really wanted it.
