Well, it took a little bit of monkeying around but I was able to get the the V7.3 ISO I received from a helpful fellow list member to boot on my 3000/400 ... it seems to only like my RRD37 drive and only on the internal SCSI channel ... she is finicky ... but hey, whatever gets the job done :O Woo hoo!
