[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 539762, member: 13565"] [img]http://myskitch.com/spawn_dooley/picture_2-20071202-180451.jpg[/img] Is this the Mac you picked up? The Firmware Version for that particular model is: [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120068"][I][B]Power Mac G4 Firmware Update 4.2.8[/B][/I][/URL] Have you looked in System Profiler for this info? You can also have a look in System Prefs, down the bottom where it should have an icon for OS 9 Classic . if you click on it it will tell you if it's installed or not. At least this is what it does on my other mac running Panther. If you do have the correct firmware installed and I would imagine you would, then why not try to install Tiger on top of 10.1.3? I'm not sure what installation option to choose but regardless of that please make sure all your important stuff has been backed up. [/QUOTE]
