Hi,
I'm trying to boot a prototype mac - PowerMac 9700 - and I'm trying both OS X and OS 8/9.
In terms of trying to boot OS 8/9 and the main issue so far is that when I boot using the apple rom (APPL) I only get a gray screen (no happy or sad mac). No cursor or anything else.
In terms of normal macs has anyone seen this behavior before. For example I've seen something similar when SCSI termination was set incorrectly on a PowerMac 8500 with a frozen gray screen but at least this had a cursor on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.
