MOL ROM for New World OS on Old World Mac's

[mascarasnake]

Eric... You can get your Old World Mac running MOL by reinstalling 
OS9.x from within MOL. This will install the Mac OS ROM needed to run 
MOL (see <http://www.maconlinux.org/userguide/index.html> for more 
details. As far as New World vs Old World, It's not a software issue, 
but a hardware issue. If you have a mac (or mac clone) that cannot 
access the Open Firmware, you have an Old World Machine. If your mac 
can access the OF, then you have a New World Machine. The Old World/New 
World has nothing to do with OS.

I believe that you can actually run MOL if you simply copy the MAC OS 
ROM file to your system folder. I'd be happy to post that so you could 
download it, But your best results will come from following the MOL 
directions.
