Aparently the built-in stuff works well enough to boot and install the OS. I'm using a real SS5 rom image and -vga cg3 to have a graphical head. Now to see if I can find any pre-compiled software archives anywhere. I tried NextStep too. The media boots, but it eventually hangs and never lets me install. -- Michael Parson Pflugerville, TX KF5LGQ
