I have been away, therefore this delay.
My PB Wall Street G3 is in my summer house far away from here, but I can try to describe better:
I had the computer updated in all possible Macintosh ways, till I had a PCMCIA card holder installed with a USB card (and a USB adapter) and a TV card.
I bought an Apple DVD player, which I installed where the CD player had been (possible to change with DVD).
I don't remember exactly, but I think I bought an upgrade to the HD.
MacOS 9.2 should be the top OS, but on another Macintosh I got to learn MacOS X. I still used my Wall Street G3, though. However, a none-Apple developer had made a program, Xpostfacto, that fooled the machine to believe it was a MacOS X machine. With this fantastic program I could install MacOS X – but then no more. My deliverer, the shop that sold hardware to me, found this hard to believe.
As a matter of fact I managed to update to MaxOS X Tiger. And all worked.
This should be a happy end, but the computer was now very slow. My reseller then sold me a 2,5" Transcend IDE SSD 64 GB 119/67 MBps with OS 10.2.8 installed. I installed it, but it didn't work. He sent me an Install OS 9.2 G4 CD and said: install 9.2, then the machine can find something to start from and go on from there.
I didn't note that the Installation CD said G4, but anyway nothing happened. I tried all sorts of help, but finally I remembered one thing: the Wall Street had no DVD in the beginning. So next time I came to where this computer is, I brought the original CD and swapped it with the DVD. And now the Install 9.2 CD started, and I installed the whole programme!
The computer nevertheless only starts from the CD. There is no sign of an installed OS 9.2 on the SSD, but the MacOS 10.2 is visible. But once I have marked OS 10.2 as the start up driver, and hit the Restart button, the computer turns all dark and stops.
There it is. Now – has anyone any idea?
