What system do you have currently installed on the computer? If you are at 8.1, you need to install 8.5 before you can upgrade to 8.6; you'll need 9.0.4 before you can go to 9.1. I tried upgrading a clone once from the free downloads at Apple, 8.5 to 9.1, and the software wouldn't allow it. Jim Sanderson -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
