(Almost) done!

Thanks to your help, and especially thanks to the kind comrade that PM'ed me great advice and links, my QS 2002 now boots happily in 9.2.2. I've tried various versions of the ROM file with little luck, but the one that did the trick is the image of the 800 MHz eMac original media that one can find in the Macintosh Garden. I could boot the QS 2002 with a burned CD from that image, and install a clean 9.2.2. Yeepeee!

Now the only remaining problem is it's an english 9.2.2. I'd rather have FU1-9.2.2 (french universal). Just as I had tried in my previous attempts, I copied the known good FU1-9.2.2 install from my Cube to the QS 2002 in target mode, and replaced its Mac OS ROM file with the one from the fresh install. And guess what… it didn't work!

I'll again try to install a fresh FU1-9.2.1, update to 9.2.2 and replace the ROM file, but I bet it won't work. Does anybody have a clue about why? Is there other files that are machine-specific, besides the ROM file?

Thanks in advance!
