Thanks Bruce. I've tried holding down the 'C' key, but that doesn't work on this particular Mac. Seems to work on every other Mac I own, just not this one... Any other ideas to get the 10.3 CD to boot?
And for a "rough" equivalent, sounds like Boot ROM is similar to a PC's Master Boot Record. ROM Version would be the BIOS. Mac OS ROM file would be "other" low level routines. Am I close?
