Classic II is a 68030 right? Should work fine. Head over to http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 and check out the 7.1 section. You'll want to install 1.1.1 first and then upgrade to 1.1.2. Should work fine. If you're planning on doing a modem connection, grab Open Transport/PPP too. With OT and OT/PPP, the setup and operation is identical to 8.1 (and 7.6.1 IIRC). Works great ;) I really need to see if my Classic II board works or not. Would make a nice upgrade for my Classic now that I'm actually using it regularly. Though it is interesting when no one on the IRC channel believes I'm really using an 8mhz machine with 4 megs of RAM to get there :) Scott Holder -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
