Um, Doug, my G3 Beige DT233 runs OS 8.1 with no problem whatsoever. Yes, I'm going back up to 9.x in the future, but in the meanwhile 8.1 runs
good. Why would Daniel's G3 B&W ONLY run OS 8.6 and higher?
-- I also have a retail OS 8 CD ROM but I used to successfully boot from
it by pressing the C key), it's just that the problem itself and the idea
that he's got to have OS 8.6 or higher to solve it
just doesn't make sense to me.
The Beige and B&W are both G3's, but the B&W is a newer machine with an entirely new logic board architecture. Also, computers tend to require the operating system that is current at the time of their release; 8.5.1 was current for Rev 1 B&W's, 8.6 for Rev 2's.
A question for you, Doug, (and other G-listers) -- on the very basic level, isn't a
G3 a G3, and unless individual owners "soup up" their G3s by putting in
bigger HDs, faster processors, more memory or updating their OS's from
what they had when they bought them, the G3s themselves should all be
more or less the same?
Again, see above response.
