I decided not to follow your interesting and pioneering lead and try to shoehorn OSX onto my identically configured 2400-400 w/112 mb ram. Not enough time to struggle get it working the way I would like, and I lose many of my OS tweaks in Classic. IMO the lack of power management optimization in OSX could definitely cause these symptoms. The PM improvement of OS 8.6 over OS 8-8.1 brought longer battery life and lower operating temperatures but on OSX with so many more desktop machines, PM has surely not the highest priority. Unfortunately, by the time PM is optimized in OSX, the hardware requirements will probably have been further increased. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
