If 8.1 will or can be made to, I'd rather stick with that. (per my > earlier USB post) I don't know if just installing the USB support or not will work. Ironically, you're probably going to find OS9 cheaper than you can find 8.5...the 8500 will handle that no problem; it might want more memory, but memory for an 8500 is cheap these days; the USB card's gonna cost as much or more than 128 megs of RAM... -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
