I recently aquired a 5500/250. It runs fine and I was able to boot it using a boot disk that I made as per apples support site, that reccommends version 1.3.1 to update the driver for the non scsi (ide) drive. So, I did that, but have been unable to install OS 8.0 on it, even though the website at apple says this computer supports 7.55 through 9.1. This computer did have 7.61 on it which I wiped as it was a mess. Does anyone know, do I have to obtain a specific install disk for it, such as I would for a compac or HP? And I thought dumbed down install disks were only in the pc world. If I buy a retail version of say 7.55 or 7.6 will it install on it? Thanks for the memoriez. -Steve-
