> > I have the same machine and upgraded with the OWC 466 G4 and replaced the HD with an IBM/Hitachi 60 Gb HD. Didn't need anything else, although I had earlier added an extra 4 video ram (to the max of 6 for that machine)and added RAM to 576. Works fine.
I did try to upgrade to Jaguar (10.2). I wanted a partition with 9.2 as well, because I like that one. I was able to installJaguar and run off it fine, although I found the internet so slow on it it was not worth going on-line in Jaguar. However, I was unable to boot from the 9.2 partition or run Classic from Jaguar (froze), so I wiped Jaguar and am sticking with 9.2 for now.
