[QUOTE="chaloots, post: 198728"] Re: Powerbook G3 Bronze (no problems since new) running OS9.2 Here's the situation... message appears on the screen "Mac OS ROM missing in the System Folder" (or something like that), screen is frozen. I manually re-start. (oops!) Yes... It's the Dreaded Blinking ? Folder. After a few minutes it volunteers to shut down. Start up again with same results. Next, start up using OS CD. It boots up but the Hard Drive not mounted. (of course, it warned me that Mac OS ROM is missing, so no HD). Can't run fix it utility, no HD recognized. Can't Repair Disk, no HD recognized etc... OK, I have everything backed up on external hard drive (whew!!)...but what can I do to get the old work horse up and running again. Or should I just shoot it in the head and put it out of it's misery? C. [/QUOTE]
