One thing that might be significant - I have 9.1 istalled on a partition of an external hard drive. When I first installed 9.1 it tried to "take over" the machine and somehow made it difficult to select the 8.1 system folder on the internal hard drive as the startup disk. Maybe some of the problems I'm having aren't some sort of legacy from the 9.1 installation?
Any insight into what is going on would be greatly appreciated. This computer used to be a reliable workhorse. I seem to need OS 8.6 to be able to run some newer software, while still being able to run my older programs, many of which don't like 9.1. I'd love to get 8.6 to work correctly.

I had a 6100 with OS 9.1 and a NewerTech G3 240mhz. CPU.
My thing was it was loaded in a Umax C500 then transferred to the 6100. It ran great.
But if you have a lot of trouble with freak memory crashes, you might want to
back up the important stuff and do a "clean install" of your OS.
