I think I shall go ahead an get OS 8.1, eventually. In the mean time, I have a broken 8100 that someone gave me a long time ago, it's been just sitting in a closet. Could I take the Harddrive out of that (which I'm pretty sure has Netscape, et cetera) and put it in the 6100? Would that work without too much trouble?
