I have a C600, 240MHz, maxed RAM, ethernet card, running 9.1 and I don't recall problem with installation. The Sonnet G3 came in today and I'm going to try it, too. I hope the Sonnet works because I like the old C600 war horse. Besides that, it is something to talk about, along with the C500

I am confident the upgraded FWB drivers will work fine. I also know that every so many years you should back up all data to another source and completely reformat a drive- it just avoids lots of problems. Then you mentioned using a program to bring your OS 8.6 files into 9.1- which may not

Is Clean Install Assistant a 3rd party utility? That may be the problem. You can always do a clean install of OS9.1, especially if you reformat the drive first with the Apple Utility. Then just move the needed items from your 8.6 folder on the other drive to the new 9.1 folder on the second

The FWB driver upgrade should have solved your problem. You did instal OS9.1 snip been working fine. Everything's set correctly. almost sounds like you let the installer overwrite the FWD drivers, which could cause problems with certain excluded drives-do you remember which boxes you

I guess I'll have to try the Apple Disk Utility. Although I'm puzzled and vexed that the FWB driver wouldn't work considering that their website claims it works for OS9 and X (and I had to pay for it) Is it dangerous to have different disks running with different formatting? I'll report back

The FWB driver upgrade should have solved your problem. You did instal OS9.1 from an Apple OTC software, not one borrowed from someone's i-mac or ? The OEM version is the least problematic. It would also help if you could identify the make and model of your two SCSI drives, as there may be
