Hi, I've got a Cube, upgraded with a PowerLogix 7448 1.7GHz CPU card.
Now, I'd *really* like to be able to install OS9 on this machine. But I can't seem to get the damn thing right! According to PowerLogix, ONLY version 9.2.2 works on the 7448
I do *not* have the "Firewire Target Disk" option, as I have no other PowerPC computer to use when installing. So I'm stuck with installing *directly* on the Cube.
I've set the machine to boot to OS9 in the firmware setup cd that came with the PowerLogix processor.
Then I:
1.) Popped in the original G4 Cube Installer CDROM - no go ( I *think* this is OS 9.0.4)
2.) Tried an OS 9.2.2 CD I got off the internet - no go
3. and 4.) Tried to burn (with Toast 9) a new installer CD from a .dmg of 9.04 and 9.2.2, both with the "Apple CPU Plugins" extension removed - neither disc will boot!
Now I'm really mad - I mean, how hard can this really be?!?!?
Perhaps I need to offload the Cube and be done with it... - though I'd hate to see it go!
Any thoughts?
Cheers and merry X-mas,
/Anders
