OK gang, I got OS 9.2 running on it's own drive now, will boot in classic mode from 10.4, or on it's own. The system does give me a heap error: "Not enough memory to install heap for the USB bus", but it seems to be a non-fatal error as the system does complete it's booting. Setting extensions to base solves that problem.
BUT - my new problem is that I can't get a PCI-GPIB card from N.I. to work sucessfully in 9.2. If I put the card in the machine without drivers, 8.2 loads OK with no errors, but if I install what looks to be the latest Mac OS GPIB extensions (N.I. PCI-GPIB driver ver 7.6.7 I think it was, got it from the National Instrument website, dated 2001), the system generates a fatal system error on boot. Of interest, I can boot sucessfully to OSX 10.4, with the newer Mac OSX GPIB drivers, and the card works fine there - but my ap won't run in 10.4. From 10.4 I can run classic, but the OS9.2 GPIB drivers don't load. So I think this may be why I was originally wanting to run my ap under9.1 in the first place, as others may not have had success geting a PCI-GPIB card woring correctly under MacOS 9.2. So has anyone been sucsessful with this configuration?
