Here's a thought... plntzas is currently on OS 3-1/21, which was distributed on the V16.2 distribution CD. Can he just go directly to a V28 disk, as long as he has the key CD as well. I know that many people with 3-1/31 (V17.1 CD) upgraded directly to 3-1/63 (V28 CD) without loading the V18 disk first. They just needed the Key CD for that upgrade.

Every version prior to v17 requires the key CD. (Not relevant for MKIV's though, as these all shipped with a later version.)
Bare in mind that unlike the software update and the maps, the key CD has a copy-protection mechanism. In other words, this is the one exception where I *WOULD* advise the use of the Alcohol program to burn the disk.
