Thanks, Mikeal.
>From your response, I gather that there is no direct upgrade from OS 8.6 to OS 9. So I will have to purchase OS 9. Which you provided the link (thanks). Then I can use the OS 9.2 upgrade. I provided the list of specs for the two beige machines I have - to see if they would run OS 9 (I think so). And OS X (the one that is expanded with 288M RAM and I plan to put that upgrade CPU in there- Will EVENTUALLY run OS X). Thanks for your reponse. I think I can make this work.
