Erp. . . Would that be me? (What's the emoticon for embarrassment?) 
No, maybe not since I actually paid for a CD that wouldn't use up 
upload time, just download.  <whew>

I couldn't get macppc to boot from the CD, but I wasn't sure why.  I 
think I didn't say anything because I wanted to do some more testing 
to figure out why.

I know I burned a test CD with ofwboot.xcf on it in the top level and 
was able to load ofwboot from it on one of my two OF 1.0.5 machines a 
long time ago.  The trouble is that I have not been able to duplicate 
my early success.  I'm pretty sure I did *not* set the famous 
load-base variable when I got it to work b.t.w.  Also ofwboot was at 
the top level, but I don't remember what Toast options I used, and I 
didn't keep the test CD that worked.

As an unpaid plug let me say that Bob's CD-ROM's are worth a lot more 
than the $5 that he charges for them, even if you don't ask for 
custom work.  I'm currently running a PC and a IIcx off of the two 
that I bought from him a long time ago.  Now if I could just find a 
way to make an 8500 dual-boot without having a working ppc machine to 
develop/test boot code on. . .
