I have been reading this thread & I have to agree with you (Christopher)
on this.
I run YD on my tiBook & have everything I need (still working on a
couple of things, but that doesn't make it non-functional or unusable).
Just food for thought but....
Any of you people complaining about things not working ever tried to get
windows to recognized a sound card & a modem that both want to claim the
same IRQ?
I found it easier to get my TiBook(667) up than to install any flavor of
Windows (that I will refuse to use)
