Hi all,
I'm having a weird issue with my OS 9 installation. I'm using a dual 1.25 FW400 MDD Power Mac G4 (with a 120GB Kingston A400 SSD and a SATA-IDE adaptor), and have OS X 10.4.11 installed on my first partition.
When I installed OS X, I made sure to have a second partition that wasn't journaled, and I also made sure to install the OS 9 disk drivers. I then burned a CD using the image available at this post:
http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php/topic,2109.0.htmlUpon booting that CD, my mouse (which is just some bundled Lenovo PC mouse I had spare) will slowly drop to the bottom of the screen any time I move it. What's weird is that the mouse works totally fine when I boot and disable extensions. Unfortunately, I'm a total newbie, so I wouldn't have a clue which extensions to uninstall, nor how to uninstall them (especially considering I need to boot without extensions to do anything with my mouse, and booting without extensions meant I couldn't get into the extension manager!).
Alternatively, is there an OS 9 image fit for my Mac without any extensions so I could have a barebones install and then install extensions later?
As a couple of side notes, when installing OS 9 with the CD, the checksum failed. It still boots completely fine, though. Also, when booting with extensions disabled and trying to fiddle with USB Overdrive settings in the Control Panels, every time I closed the settings window I got an error related to my volume being locked. Not sure if that's indicative of anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.
