Seems to work OK mon my G4 mirror. Don I presume you've tried holding down the 'c' key when you startup the Lombard with a CD in the CD-ROM? It'd be very strange indeed if it didn't allow you to boot from CD. Also try holding down Shift;Option;Command;Delete at startup. This forces the computer to look for a bootable volume other than the internal startup drive (including a CD-ROM). This often works when a Mac refuses to boot from CD even when holding down the C key. -Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Trashing vs Shredding?
Hi, I recently read the following: The problem with simply trashing a file is that the information previously stored in the trashed file is still physically located on your disk until another file happens to overwrite that information. Simply trashing a file may allow someone to obtain information that you thought you had removed. ..While a file is shredded, the information is purposely overwritten with selected bit patterns before being removed from your disk. This ensures there is no way to undelete or recover shredded files. Safeshred version 2.0 I assume shredding is much better for personal and operating system health reasons? When it says that the trashed file is still physically located on your disk until another file overwrites it, does that mean that the original file then becomes deleted forever when it is written over? How can I tell if a certain file has been overwritten? Can I permanently delete a file without using a product like Safeshred? I hope I am making some sense here. Sorry for all the questions, but any help would be appreciated :-) -- / \__/ __) ( || || /_o ( || || __Demetrius__/ ( o \(_o/\_/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wallstreet. The limitation is for OS X only, AFAIK.

Also, installation once any OS disk drivers are loaded probably wouldn't be a problem, either. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will respond, but I still think you've encountered an architecture limitation.

Network printing
Help! I am trying to get my Ti-400 system 9.2 laptop to print at the office, whose staff is very PC oriented and can't seem to make it work. I get on the net okay and can see all the networked printers in the chooser, but nothing seems to work. I would be printing to an IP address, they tell me. An HP 1200 printer.
