Unfortunately, I no longer have such a version available unless there's some way to open it IN the backup copy on the external HD. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

OK. The Apple tech blamed the OS mismatch, but here's what the old one says about itself: built-in memory 384 MB Virtual memory 385 MB used Machine ID 406 Machine speed: 500 MHz Model name: Power Mac G4(AGP graphics) Processor info: PowerPC G4 ATA Hard Drive Open Transport Version 2.7.9 Ethernet built-in: Link: up Appletalk active Version 60 I can't find anything that says PCI, but am probably looking in the wrong place. I have to type this in as I go; I can't copy because the link is down. Does this mean anything to anyone? -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
