<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And now for something completely different....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just dug up the old 2400c/180/112: to my delight it booted up immediately (OS 8.6). I then did a fresh install of 9.1 using an Apple external CD-ROM drive (600e), downloaded Xpostfacto 2.2 and, using that, tried to install OS 10.1. Everything seemed to be going well, the timer read less than a minute left, cleaning up was underway and then.....nothing and finally a panic message. Looked like something was being looked for without result.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I retried, the same sequence of events with a similar result, irrespective of whether I tried installing OS 10.0.3 or 10.1.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What to do????Or is it just plainly impossible to do an install without a G3-upgrade.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for all suggestions, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Peter</div>

cable to connect my 2400c to an older PowerMac 6500. Then I was able to boot the
2400c into dock mode and mount the hard drive on my 6500. I then was able to
install a fresh install of 8.1 onto the 2400c hard drive through dock mode. Now
my 2400c boots to 8.1!!! Success at last!!!
