My mileage has varied much. My first successful install of OS X onto this damned machine was using a vintage Apple High Resolution (ha...doesn't support above 640x480!) Display. Disks 1 and 2 went through without a hitch, though it couldn't run the initial configuration program afterwards due to the monitor (probably said resolution limitation). Hopefully, the installation won't crash and burn this time. -Adam
