Re: Option equivalent on Windows Keyboard
Alex, Dark_Mac, You're right, Thanks! I thought I had tried the Alt key. Now I can confidently include a PC keyboard with a G4. The other key needed - F12 to open the Optical drive tray - is a direct match. Anyone think of something that would NOTt work on a PC keyboard attached to a G4?

Option equivalent on Windows Keyboard
Hi! I've set up a G4 to dual boot from a Jaguar drive and a Ubuntu drive - both internal. No problem using a Mac keyboard to choose which volume to boot into, just hold down the Option key. The problem is what to do with a PC keyboard. None of the three lower left keys will do the trick. Does anyone know how to choose boot volume at startup on a G4 using a PC keyboard?
