Mac OS 9.2.1 on Powerbook 12"

[Piyush Khengar]

Hi Samuel,

I've got a bootable copy of 9.2.1 that came with a slightly older iMac
G4, so it should definitely boot. And yeah, the cd didn't eject this
time. Does this mean I'm one step closer?

And I've got the latest version of MOL (o.9.69). Hmmm... I'm not sure
what all this 'blessing' stuff is about...

PS. Is it possible to get the scroll wheel of my usb mouse (which works
perfectly in Linux) to also work in MOL OS X?
