ahem... not ONLY on accelerated IIcis. If you use Born Again or make some

Its been done :)
OS8.0 also has a floppy set on cd. :)


What kind of speed (or lack thereof) could I expect if I were to install OS 8 onto my unaccelerated IIsi? I have a a Radius video card in it, which I assume would speed up graphics a bit over the IIsi onboard video but that is all. I have never used OS 8 on any 68k Mac-- the lowest-end machine I ever experienced with 8 was a PowerMac 6300.

I am currently running System 6.0.8 on it, but this sounds like a fun project.

I just want to know if it'd be worth my while or not. I mean, if it's going to make things so slow as to be generally unusable I won't bother.
