Oh, I used a Quadra in school. I haven't forgotten (or forgiven) System 7. Anyway, the point (if there is one) of this G3 exercise of mine is to squeeze performance out of this poor thing. I want to establish if the way it's setup now would make a difference, performance wise. To be clear, I don't use Classic from 10.2. I set it up to boot from the OS9 system folder. Would this be less performant(sic?) than having its own partition, or is the real difference that OS9 could take the whole disk with it if it crashed? ...and on the heels of that, another question. Does this sort of thing make a difference when you're installing, say, a PCI FW/USB card?
If this is a B&W G3 install Tiger, it's worth it :) Also, my USB card works on both OS'es on my G3 B&W (has the NEC chipset) but because of some limitation it won't work with OS9 on my Molar Mac (beige G3 with built in monitor, think huge white iMac.) I'm not sure about OSX and the card on that machine though...
