My Power mac , 1. 25 DP G4 FW800 is the model that can not boot ( or install) into classic But I do have a fail back position My "old" trusty B&W 500 Mhz G3 is fully up and running as my backup equipment with OS 9.1 installed. Its located in my basement. ( Just went there and booted it up for my monthly check) So when head cleaning time comes , which is very often for the Epson 740, I plan to carry it downstairs, hook it up to the B&W and clean away. No problem. Solved tougher problems than this! Plan to setup a weekly cleaning maintenance program It never ends Some day I expect that Epson will come up with a Utility version that is compatible with Panther. albert
