Greetings,
I am using OS 9.1 on my Power Mac 6500 and thought this was the last OS
I could install. I recently came across a free program called OS9 Helper and
it is supposed to patch the computer so 9.2 can be installed on older Macs.
Does anyone have any experience with this program and what advantages would I see
by upgrading to 9.2? Thanks.
The only real advantage is that it comes with a slightly improved OpenGL version and allows you to install the latest drivers from ATI for their Radeon cards. I have heard that there is some software that requires 9.2.1, but haven't come across it myself. Unless one of the benefits interests you, I'm not sure it is worth doing the upgrade. I used it briefly and found it slightly faster (maybe) but slightly more unstable.
