You know.. somehow I ruled that out early on, but I must have been mistaken. I was using a 12" RGB Apple display, which I think runs at 512 x 384? Something low.
Anyhow, I tried again using an Apple 14" display that does 640 x 480. She booted to the desktop.. I have never seen her boot to the desktop.. and then it said the OS was corrupt or some such and needed to be reinstalled. Darn. That us surprising, as it had booted several other Macs recently.
I am hoping my SCSI drive didn't just fail. That would suck.
I also tried booting off of my Zip drive with 7.5.3 but it just sat there with the blinking question mark, even after a PRAM reset.
Ok - I'm going to have a scotch first, and then tomorrow, try another OS install.
