Hello all,
I'm having some trouble on installing Mac OS 9 on my Pismo. Recently I downgraded the thing from Tiger to Panther (it was dragging itself in every app, although it has 512 Megs of RAM...), but I wanted to install 9.2.2 too (on the same partition).
The problem is that the Pismo does not boot from the OS 9 CD. I've tried a few CD's, but no luck. And I know the problem is not the DVD drive, as it installed Panther, and also Tiger from there. Also, the OS 9 CDs work on a G3 iBook, which booted fine from them.
Also tried installing OS 9 from the iBook, using Target Disk Mode (mounted the Pismo drive on the iBook's desktop), but the installer stalled when checking the disk!
What can I do? The hard disk is working, as I installed a fresh copy of Panther in it. And the DVD drive works too. I'm guessing it's the computer itself which doesn't want OS 9!
Thanks for any help you might give!
