Hi Roger,
When booting from the CD, the OS 9 installer says that the firmware
is out of date. You have to install it from a writable volume. OS 8
is too old to boot the Mac - so I need 8.6
My address is:
S Berry

Thanks,
Stephen

I was hoping that someone can help me out...again.
I have a couple of iMac 333s at my school which have been wiped
before having their firmware updated. This means I cannot load OS 9
on to them. I have also managed to wreck my OS 8.6 CD (which I have
tried to read in several machines, but the reflective layer has a
nick in it), so I cannot get an OS on to the machines! We do not have
any restore discs for the machines, as they were donated to us.
Would anyone on the list be able to send me a copy of an 8.5 or 8.6
CD? Or an iMac 333 restore CD?
I have a full original 8.6 CD. Email me off-list with your address and
I'll put it in the post. (Although how does updating the firmware
prevent you from installing OS 9?)
