My beige mac, a ppc7200 which has been running for 172 days now so I
don't remember exactly, booted to the OS7 and OS8 discs holing down 'c'.
The ppc7200 is an all pci/scsi system from ~1995 IIRC.
Admittedly, I'm not about to forsake all 172 days of uptime just to see
if =B4CONTROL-OPTION-SHIFT-BACKSPACE=B4 works but 'c' did.
Also of possible note, the SCSI cdrom and the floppy drives are both
Sony's, the HD was originally a Seagate.
