[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1595724"] The problem is likely that the optical drive is nearly shot, or the original Panther discs are damaged. In either event, this machine is so old and past its sell-by date I wouldn't waste much time (or any money) trying to fix it unless I were going to use it (or give it to someone who would use it) entirely off-line as a glorified typewriter. It's just no longer safe to put a machine that can't run any modern OS version on the Internet anymore. [/QUOTE]
