So I've had this Power Mac 9600 for at least two years now that has just never worked. It just will not boot off a disk. My 8.1 and 8.6 CDs don't do anything at all (and this is after I cleaned the current optical drive and upped the voltage a little) and while it attempts to boot off my 7.6.1 CD, it just bombs like this:
I could still try OS 9.0 or 9.1 I suppose, but is there anything else I can try to finally get this thing working?
EDIT: Just tried a burned CD of the 8600/9600 7.6.1 restore image and it just froze on the Happy Mac.
