Well, wasn't last Saturday such a good day for 68king? After i logged off the Internet on my LC630 (which i am once again doing), i tried starting up the Hackintosh off a floppy with all SCSI devices disconnected, and lo and behold, Elsie booted straight into System 7.5.0, without a single hitch at all! I then powered off and connected one hard drive (my startup volume), and into OS 8.1 we go! And this was a machine that was dead last Tuesday!!! I had to reset some PRAM settings (i reset the CUDA when it died), but other than that, everything was as usual after i put the Hackintosh back together with the PC case and extra drives. Ran her past MacTest Pro and TechTool Pro 3, checked out fine. I have absolutely no idea what happened, but either way, Elsie is back, and she is staying that way!!!! Soo happy!!! Either way, Saturday was a good parent free day (they were in town, and i wanted to stay at home, which i did), and a good day for 68ks.

It sure would be nice if my iMac inserted/ejected CDs and DVDs properly. It also would be grand if my internal speakers worked... FireWire is fast

I assume you're talking about the external port. Perhaps you're a victim of SCSI (termination) voodoo? FireWire is fast
