Re: DVD on Wallstreet
Well, you will need a generic 9.x install CD... ones that come with a specific machine (other than your Wallstreet) will not boot. The DVD player will not run from Classic, because it needs access to the hardware, which Classic does not provide. You will need a generic 9.x install CD and install (you might want to check your HD too, since the 'not able to boot 9' problem sounds BAD).

Hmm, so you did install onto the Wallstreet with the CD before installing X? Or did you use a separate CD? The thing is, if you cannot boot using the CD you installed 9 with... then there is a problem with the CD or your CD-ROM drive. It does sound like your HD is going south though... the best way to check is to boot off the 10.2.x Install CD and run Disk Utility, or from the OS 9 CD (Catch-22) and run Disk Utility. - Adam -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: DVD on Wallstreet
I don't have my OS X handbook with me but I remember reading about a problem with OS 9 not being able to boot. I don't remember the solution but I know there was one. If I can get to my book tomorrow I'll send you the info. In the meantime, I've had several computers with OS X not want to boot off the 9 disk. A re-install(not a clean install) of X took care of the problem sometimes. Also, try resetting the power manager and pram. A couple weeks ago my wife's Wallstreet wouldn't boot from anything and out of desperation I reset the PM and pram and got it to at least begin booting off a CD. Can't explain why that worked, but may be worth a try if you haven't already. As an aside--Most of my mac using friends feel it is asking for trouble installing X over 9. They all recommend wiping the disk and starting fresh. I was a doubter, but the more I see, the more I think they may be right.

Re: DVD on Wallstreet
Sorry, but the Wallstreet and Lombard cannot play DVDs in OS X. OS X uses the video card for DVD playback (so no PC Card decoders will work), and the RagePro LT is woefully underpowered for that sort of thing... (And Apple has incomplete LT drivers, as you probably know by now) From: Emery Stora [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the DVD card and the DVD/CD drive. I was able to play DVDs fine but then I put on OSX (Jaguar) and 9.2.2. I can no longer get my DVD to work. When I click on DVD Player it gives me Error 3. Is anyone else using the DVD card on the Wallstreet and might be able to tell me what to try to get it working again. Thanks. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: DVD on Wallstreet
Occasionally on my Wallstreet the cards would eject while the mechanism would remain cocked as it were. The solution was to use a paperclip in the eject hole when the slot was empty. This allows the card to be inserted. Keith -- I'd love to but... I want to spend more time with my blender. On 10/29/02 at 12:05 PM I saw Jeff Spray type: I am having difficulty inserting a DVD decoder card into my Wallstreet. I fell the resistance however it does not lock into place.
