Hi,
I have the white CD marked 1997. I bought it retail
probably in early 1998. I have used it to start up a
quadra 840av and a quadra 800.
My method for starting a computer with a CD is to
first start up from the hard drive. Then put the OS CD
in and choose it from the startup disk control panel.
Then I hit restart. I seem to remember having a
problem starting from the disk by holding down the C
key. I'm not sure though.

David

Try booting from CD by holding [Shift, Option, Command and Delete] keys held
down at same time as computer starts up with CD in drive, this should force
booting from the CD [or any external drive with a suitable OS] and by-passes
the startup hard drive.

I have a Mac OS 8.0 and a 8.1 CD, on both the code numbers begin with the
letter Z tho' they both follow the same x-xxxA scheme. I don't live in
the US, so the numbering may be different because of that.

Re: [q] Help Identify OS 8.0 CD

[Stephen Alexander]

Not for resale means it was shipped with a mac most likely. The CD may be 
model-specific. Quadlist archives reveal a similar query and response from a 
couple years back:

http://www.mail-archive.com/quadlist%40mail.maclaunch.com/msg03234.html

I got a hit on U97073-052A which appears to be an expired page selling a full 
retail version of OS 8.

That's all I've got, sorry
