Hi Liz
Thanks for the info. I had no idea there were two versions of OS 3.9.
Who knows, maybe the earlier releases of OS 3.9 have problems?
Many people had similar problems regarding O3.5 Emergency Boot Disks
too.
Yeah, Salvatore I've spoken to before. He's the guy responsible for
writing the Power Flyer user manual for Power Computing. Although if
anyone is unfortunate to speak to Tony at Power he doesn't have a
clue regarding Technical Queries. Tony's normal reply to technical
queries is [in Italian accent and bad English]: It okay. It work for
me 8)
As for my copy of OS 3.9, I purchased it from Eyetech.
