That server has the occasional outage. I just tried again, and it
worked fine.
Regarding some other comments - I recently reinstalled System 7.6.1
on my PB1400. When I started, I had both a System 7.6.1 partition
and a Mac OS 9.1 partition. My System 7.6 installer CD was
unreliable (giving errors during install), but I was able to read it
on my G4 Cube, and copy the installer. I then burned a CD from Mac
OS X (Tiger) containing the installer. I could read my burned CD
when booted on the PB1400 under Mac OS 9.1, but when booted under
System 7.6.1, the disk showed up in Finder as unformatted. I would
have to check again, but I think I remember trying both the Intech CD/
DVD driver and copying the Mac OS 9.1 CD/DVD driver to the System
7.6.1 partition (rebooting between), with the same result.
