Interesting, Clark. I must be looking at a vs3.0 limitation. I do not have a == option in my Symbol Menu. If I type the find symbol into the field directly either in quotes or out of quotes ==c* I get no finds. But if I find =c* then I get all records with the word A in the find field. Cliff

Just to recap my miserable boring infuriating problems trying to reinstall an operating system on my 5300: I wiped the drive and partitioned it. All attempts to get a network going again so as to reinstall OS 8.5 from the CD failed, so I bought a SCSI adapter to connect via SCSI disk mode. This

Suggestion 3. See if you can find a cheapo external SCSI CD drive... Don't know if it will work, but MAYBE you can start up/install off that?? If the SCSI port is good, it works with no problem at all. When I upgraded the hard drive in my 5300, I booted the machine from an OS 8 CD through an

You should upgrade to 8.1 on the 5300 regardless. It's definitely more stable than 8.0, although either is 10 times better then 7.5.x. And lke was said before, make sure you have Shared Library Manager PPC installed. You also might want to make sure you have the latest hard disk drivers

Thanks Gart, I WAS joking, but that¹s ok, sarcasm doesn't really work in an e-mail... Just to state really the obvious, the 512K Mac was of course a 68K machine itself, and included the 68000 processor, not the (much faster and newer) 68020. :-) -- John. On 6/3/03 4:32 PM, Gary D. Adams
