All of you are being super helpful. I couldn't ask for a better community.

The 3.5 drivers dropped into the system folder and were recognized as extensions and placed accordingly. They do not cause a crash.

They also don't do any good. Still limited to 1024x768 in the Monitors control panel, still got fans running during sleep, still have a message in the system profiler that I have a PCI card incompatible with low-power mode. I also verified that it is a GeForce4 MX.

Trying the NetBoot now.

Update: After I add Disk Copy to the OS 9 "install" currently on the MDD.

Update 2: NetBoot 9 System folder = flashing question mark. I'll try a couple different MacOS ROM files and see if any of them make a difference.
