The maximum OS for a non-upgraded 7200 is OS 9.1. NuBus Macs (which the 7200 isn't) need the CD-ROM updates, not a downloadable update. That's the only limitation I know of for installing OS 9 on earlier machines. Of course, maxing out the RAM is a good idea when going to the highest OS allowed. With 128MB, it should work, but 512MB would work a whole lot better. It's amazing how much better my post-7200(7600)G3 Mac works far better after I moved up to 512MB. Next step: over a gig of memory. - t "I know . . . I know . . . I use too many ellipses. . . ." -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
