[G4] Flatliner MDD

[Maj. Richard H. Blount (OHMR Ret.)]

Still doing battle with the beast. I was able to install Ubuntu Linux, which
lets it see all the drives so I know there it nothing wrong with the primary
controller (Whew) I called Apple and the bozo on the phone walked me through
all kinds of gyrations finally settling on I have to install 9.2 and update
my firmware. Unfortunately, I cant boot with either of the os9 disks nor can
I find the firmware he was talking about. He did try to sell me Tiger
though.. As if I need yet another set of variables to this puzzle. It is
apparent that the disks I have are not for the unit I am trying to
resuscitate. If yours are the right ones, that would warp drive me right
back into the game.

In the meantime, I am learning a bit about Linux. Pretty darned neat except
I don¹t know how to make anything work other than what it automatically set
up. Trying to install anything like Realplayer or a DVD play is clearly
beyond my present skill set.
