I'm running 9.2.2 on my 9600/g4/450 and 7500/g3/400 without a hitch. It's been the most stable OS I've run on these machines so far. (I haven't tried OS X yet.) At first I had some trouble after installing but traced it to two extensions: Classic Support UI and ProxyApp in the System Folder. Disabling these took care of the problems.
-+-+-+- What make of accelerator? What hacks, if any, did you use to upgrade to 9.2.2? Did you start with 9.1? I have a 9.2.1 install disk that I don't seem to be able to use in my 9600 w/ Sonnet G4/450 card. I'm wanting to get to OS X eventually and hoping to be able to try 9.1 soon.

David,
The 9600/350 has an XLR8 ZIF Carrier, Six Slot Edition, with a G4/450 installed. The 7500/100 has an XLR8 ZIF Carrier, G3/400 installed.
The problem is that the 9600 and other PCI Macs can't boot anything beyond 9.1 without a hack. I started with OS 9 and used OS 9 Helper to get to 9.2.2. You first must install from an OS 9 or 9.1 retail CD, download the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 upgrades from Apple's site, download OS Helper at os9forever.com and go from there.
