OS8.6 is faster, especially on 603e Macs
I have also found the Finder and graphics to be much faster in 8.6 than 9.1, even when using the 9.2 Finder and OpenGL upgrades. 8.6 will also run most applications that say they require OS 9, even with older versions of CarbonLib. Some apps need CarbonLib 1.6, but most are perfectly happy with CarbonLib 1.2.5. I've also got a USB-FireWire card with a USB mouse and a (PC-labeled, no less!) 40/12/48 FireWire CD burner, all working fine under OS 8.6. I have a 9.1 partition, but have't found a reason to boot it up in nearly 8 months. Rich -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
