My trip to the Apple store, if nothing else, was an experience. Many of the techs milled about, some taking pictures of a never seen real-life Lombard.
Alas, several Geniuses later, still no joy. They just did not have the software to wipe the drive, and with frustration, opined that I should keep it for archival purposes. It was also suggested that the machine may have come with both 10.2 and OS 9.x and that is why it is nearly impossible to boot without the original install disks.
So for now, I’m at an all stop, at least until I figure out my next step.
