Were you using OS 9 Helper? You do have to upgrade to 9.1 before you can apply the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updaters, using OS 9 Helper. I don't think a 9.2.2 install CD will work on any G2 (aka PCI) PowerMac. In my case, the drive is from a 7500 that I used to own and was upgraded to 9.2.2 using the aforementioned upgrade method. Works like a charm in both the old 9600/200 that I had, and my current 9600/350. -J -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
