Hello everyone,

I have recently reinstalled Mac OS 9.2.1 on my iMac G3, and I am glad to say that I am now in full control of the computer. It works great, and it has enough software for me to get by on it.

But there are still a couple problems I need to ask about. The iMac itself is just fine, apart from an irreparable clock error. For one thing, it won't read blank CD-R's. If it's a CD-R with files on it, it accepts it; otherwise, it just spits it out. I know that CD-RW's would probably do the trick, but is there a way to configure it to accept blank CD-R's? Right now, the only way for me to transfer files from the iMac to other computers is by a Zip drive.

Also, for those of you who own iMac G3's, can anyone recommend an iMac-compatible Internet service apart from dial-up? I tried putting in an SBC Yahoo DSL software CD so that I could access the Web. It worked fine until I had to restart the computer, and when I did, it got stuck and I had to force the CD out.

Could anyone help me solve these problems?

Thanks,
