[H-GEN] Apple MAC OS 9.1 software

[Simon Ellis]

Hello.

The drive I was planning to use has not been used for over a year and does
not want to start up, even under MS Windows. So it would appear the drive
has failed. I tried another drive and it worked but at 500 MB it is not
going to do the job.

I will have to wait and see if I can find another one to do this Linux
installation.


Thanks everyone for your help.

Regards,
Simon Ellis.
