I think I've got it fixed now. I installed the Pismo's HDD in the PDQ, but it wouldn't boot that either. I'd been expecting that, but the plan only called for booting from the OS9 CD to delete the OS9 system folder I'd dragged over from the BeigeG3's HDD in the FW/USB box.

Worked like a charm :approve: but the OSX install wouldn't boot the PDQ, which was about what I expected, OSX wonkiness is par for the PDQ course.

I haven't tested the cleaned up drive in the Pismo yet, it's being stored safely inside the now inoperable PDQ.

The Pismo is now booting just fine off the 9.2.1 install on the PDQ's HDD. It already has Illustrator 9, GraphicConverterPPC (which I much prefer to the OSX-ified version) and my basic utilities suite all set up and ready to rock.

Pismoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a very happy camper! [] ]'>
