I have a Starmax (I think 3000) that I bought 2nd hand on Ebay, complete with a Sonnet G3 card. It runs great, and I have OS 8.1 installed. My problem is that it will not seem to read the 9.1 disk that I have. It is supposed to be for all iMacs and Power PC's so it should work, but all it does is spin in the drive without doing anything.
Am I missing something here (like a patch or a pre-loader program) or is the disk I have just not compatible with the Starmax? BTW, for anyone that knows the models, mine is a desktop model, and I have 144 megs of RAM in it, a 1 gig drive, and the stock IDE CD ROM drive. If you know the model number, that would be nice for future reference. I know that 9.1 will run on this machine, because I copied the system folder (from my Tech Tools disk) to a blank 1 gig drive and it booted up fine. I just can't get anything else onto the drive. (No CD control by just dragging the system folder onto the blank drive). I also cannot access the internet, because I can't seem to load any drivers without the rest of the operating system files. Is it mandatory to have an "off the shelf" version of OS 9.1 to run or load onto this machine? Thanks to all in advance.
