well i have OS X 10.3.9 on it now with an OS 9 complement.

I tried apple's terminal commands after making a backup of the file that the commands were supposed to change which was a good thing to because i needed to copy it back from os 9 because there was no video out

but the black screen stopped for some reason not sure what.

Probably because i replaced the HD and started using the patched rage pro option in PostXfacto.
