[QUOTE="TheInternaut, post: 1306396, member: 217355"] Hi all For nostalgia reasons I just bought a 400mhz iMac G3 off ebay. The computer was sold to me on the basis that it didn't come with an OS pre-installed. Unfortunately, I appear unable to boot off my OS 8.1 system disk because the only keyboard I have is a new-ish aluminum Apple Keyboard which the iMac doesn't recognize. This means that I cant hold the C key down on startup :( should another cheap USB keyboard work ok? Also, will the 400mhz iMac run off OS 8.1? Any help appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
