If you're doing the RAM installation yourself, be sure to re-seat the processor card very firmly, so much so that it feels very much like you're doing something wrong and might break it. You really have to press on it, but do so only in the bottom right corner. When I upgraded my RAM I didn't know this, didn't have the processor card seated properly, and freaked out because I thought I had broken by beloved Pismo. Which brings me to another point, with which I'm sure someone will disagree. The Pismo is quite simply the best laptop Apple ever made. It's a great machine, still robust despite being 5 years old, and very versatile and upgradeable as well. I love mine and wouldn't part with it for anything. --I have AirPort installed in this machine. Does it work with the newer wireless technology?

Go to the Apple menu (upper left corner of your screen), go down to System Preferences. Look at the bottom line in the window (System). Look for the item Startup Disk. Click on this. The operating systems that are present will show up in the window (may take a few moments). If OS 9 is there, you can click on it, then select Restart, and the machine will boot into 9. If you do have OS 9 on the machine, do you need to boot into 9 or can you operate in Classic? If you can utilize the latter, you can just choose to start Classic.
