[1st] Re: 8.6 crashing problems

[Geoffrey Loeffler]

I know these are simple and probably already tried but a low pram 
battery has caused the problems you describe in my 61 without the date 
or clock being off time; try to get a used copy of conflict catcher and 
maybe get rid of OS 9 partition. The Mac I believe goes to the highest 
OS unless the start up disk is set, I believe this is also held by the 
pram. Possible that the computer is reading the external first then 
going to 8.6  and getting confused ?

Are there settings on the Sonnet, if so try adjusting those to see if 
lower settings produce better results.
These are good machines little machines, remeber like all computers 
they were the cutting edge and they had to have models. Try using 10 
year old tech on a windows, keep at it. let us know if the problem 
persists.
Good luck,
Geoff

I have IE5.1.6, Communicator 4.79, Mozilla 1.0, and iCab 2.9.8. 
running on a freshly reformatted  drive and a freshly  copy of 8.6.   
This 6100 has a Sonnet 400MHz G3 and 256 Mb RAM installed.  It has 
always run well on 8.1 or 7.6.1, but has been flaky since I have 
upgraded to OS 8.6.

 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?
