Hi,

Remember Skip has an iMac.

The OS 9 issue usually related to printers or 
modems plugged into different serial ports (i.e. 
printer in modem port, etc.) to what the OS was 
used to - even though the ports were the same and 
you just needed to configure them properly.

iMacs only have USB, no din 9 serial ports so this isn't the solution.

Skip was the iMac recently on a network and was 
connected via Ethernet and you have removed that 
connection?
