Dear List: I have a Power Mac 7600, which has a Sonnet G3 500, 256 MB RAM, a Macally USB/Firewire card, a 1GB SCSI drive, a Maxtor 160GB attached to an ATA controller card, and a Radeon 7000 card, on which I was running Jaguar. I decided to upgrade to Panther and that's when all the trouble started.
The upgrade to Panther went unsuccessfully, so I decided to wipe all the drives clean and start from scratch. But when I tried to install OS 9.1 again, I had issues trying to install it. Sometimes it would boot up and get stuck while the extensions were loading. On other occasions, it would get past loading extensions and allow me to begin the installation process. Shortly thereafter, the installation would stall. I pulled out the all the third-party cards and tried the installation again, but still could not install OS 9.1. I even tried a different installation CD, but with similar results. I zapped the PRAM several times and reset the CUDA switch. Again, similar results prevailed. I pulled out the PRAM battery and left it out over night, installed it again, and booted up the computer. But this did not help either. I now suspect that there must be some sort of hardware issue. And I am thinking the most likely suspect is the CD-ROM drive. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
