<DIV>I recently purchased a Power Mac G4 AGP 500MHz Single Core CPU, 100Mhz Bus, 60G Hard drive, 2G RAM (upgraded by me), running OS <A href="http://10.2.8./" target=_blank rel=nofollow>10.2.8.</A> I then purchased an upgrade Sonnet 1.8GHz CPU. The problem that I have run into is that the firmware that came with the new CPU requires that you boot from OS 9 in the Start Disk. I do not have OS 9. Apparently, the Seller of this unit upgraded the OS without using the original disks. I know very little about Apple products, but I really like this machine and I am anxious to learn a great deal more about this product since I find the OS is far superior to anything that Microsoft has. I need a crash course on this machine, particularly how to upgrade the CPU. I would also like to purchase the OS bundle that includes OS 9. Any information would be greatly
appreciated.</DIV></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>G4 mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:G4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com" target=_blank rel=nofollow>G4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</A><BR><A href="http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/g4" target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/g4</A><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></td></tr></table><br>
