Just an old Radeon 128 I had lying around for the moment.
On the OS front, I think I found the problem :-/ Ruddy great scratch right through the dye layer over the very innermost tracks on the first CD. I've ordered a legit DVD of 10.4 from the US. Should be here any day.
The 10.3's I have are burnt wrong. The contents that should be on the top layer of the heirarchy are inside a folder and not bootable (strange that they seemed to on the Beige, but perhaps my memory is fuzzy).
I rang a local Mac help shop and asked if they had any CDs of 10.3 (for two 'books I'm also working on), expecting legit old stock. Turned up and was handed burns. They don't work either :-/ So I'm also buying some legit 10.3s on ebay (local)
Bah. Crime doesn't pay.
