Dan writes, <If two different boot disks are having the same problem, I would tend to suspect the drive rather than the disks. Can you boot another Mac with them (or the same Mac with another CD-ROM drive)?>
I don't know, and don't presently have the ability to do this experiment. The boot CDs are both OS 9, and my old boxed-up 7200/120 is my only other Mac with a CD-ROM drive...and not enough memory to run OS 9 (even if a 7200 could at all, which I don't think it can). And, I don't have another CD drive to attach to my G3.... But, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe the end of the month I'll be able to at least try another CD drive. ~Yersinia. ________ "Do unto others -- before they do unto you." -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
