    Yes, I still haven't gotten the ok to send that crap powermac 7,2 back and I bought a Powermac 7,3 from the Kentucky Derby Museum.
    The dvd drive won't eject but i figure i just dont know mac so i pulled it out with much trouble and manually inserted mos 3.2.
    Now the SOB will not boot off of the mos cd.
    I am holding down the C key like I always do with all macs but only the mac desktop shows the morph cd as present, OF doesn't seem to be able to do its job.
    I have paid twice for equipment, you'd think i could get something that actually works.
    :-(

    Well,

    The simple answer is as near as your own PC.
    Even PC hardware expects you to plug the keyboard into the FIRST usb port so you can use the BIOS hot keys.
    That was silly.
    I plugged into the front of the machine and the C key worked.
    I am booted into Morph and , daaaaamn, this thing is fast.
    My screen is 1920x1080 and it feels like home.

    I have a few things to test out like b.o.c.h.s. and will get back with ya all.

    :-D
