I have an agp mac, 400 mhz, 1 gig. I replaced the dvd rom with a superdrive and have two hard drive. MY boot drive has Jag and OS9, but the os9 system folder I had renamed to previoussysfolder.
Everything was running perfectly, until yesterday when I tried booting into OS9. The computer restarted and left me with the old Mac icon with a smiley face and went no further.
No matter how many times I try restarting, pressing the s1 button, and so on I wind up in the same place. My keyboard is a logitech, control panel is in preferences and it was working fine.
If I press any key on my keyboard at startup, i get a black screen. PRAM won't zap. If I disconnect the startup drive and try booting from the superdrive, I just get the black screen.
I've tried holding down T, S, C, command S, Option S, Command V, plain old Option - nothing changes.
What do I do now? If I reset and start up again, I get the smiling mac.
