Re: 233 g3 powerbook and os9
thanks, guys... it's os9.01 message: This program cannot run on your computer. See the documentation for more information. I've also tried to start up from cd, same result. Next I'm going to reformat the drive, but I wanted to save what's on there first, and without my customary usb and firewire ports I'm having to scratch around just for a way to do that stewart Also, what version of OS9?

Re: 233 g3 powerbook and os9
it's os9.01 That's your problem. 9.0 will run on the Wallstreet and 9.0.4+ will run on the Wallstreet, but anything in between is a machine-specific release of Mac OS and hence won't run on the Wallstreet.
