Greetings. I have been searching for a while and finally found a site that I think might help me.
I read in an earlier post of the person who was trying to boot his Sawtooth G4 with OS9.
I believe that I have a Sawtooth G4, but I have a Mac OS 7.6 CD-rom. I *don't* think it was machine specific, as OS7.x was 'freeware' from Apple... correct?
I am unsure of the memory, but the HD is 6gig.
I have tried to hold the C to boot from the CD drive, but it seams to bypass it altogether.
if it won't read from the CD-rom, can I assume that the reader is bad? How can I tell if the HD is bad?
When it finishes its 'boot' it is flashing the Mac smiley face and the "?" icon (missing OS/ boot error... correct?)
I am trying to get this to work so I can 'test the waters' so to speak.
Any help or wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
