Everyone,
Thank you so much for your advice and suggestions. I will start
working through all of them and update this thread as applicable. I

things I haven't dea
Not the CMD-V, but whenever I try to boot in 10.4 I generally have to

There are a couple of large threads on the Apple Discuss
I had EXACTLY the same problem in my B&W, I also thought it was the
SCSI card, but when I removed it, the same problem, I was stuck with
10.3, when I attempted to install Tiger, i only got Kernel Panics in
