Hi Sue: >From my experiance with an iMac(233 Rev.B) of similar vintage to your machine, I would recommend you run 9.2.2. My machine seemed to run a little more efficiantly and gained stability with every OS9 upgrade. I'm also running 9.2.1 on my 8500 and it just purrs along though for some reason (RAM, ATTO HD card, newer 24x CD drive) it won't accept 9.2.2. Also, I really think you'll like OS9.x over the 8.6 you've been using. It can really speed up some tasks, starts up quicker etc.
A couple days ago I was running DiskWarrior over the drives in my 8500, running 9.2.1. I worked over the backup drive partitions and just scanned the main drive. Then I re-booted from the backup drive which has 8.6 installed, rescanned the main drive and then ran DsikWarrior over it. The amount of time it took to scan the disk was so much longer in 8.6 it was just laughable. Have fun, scott --- Sue Street <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How truly stable is 9.2.1 (esp. for my type of machine) and should I > upgrade to 9.2.2 if I install 9.2.1? > > B&W G3/350 (rev.2) > OS 8.6, 448 MB RAM > 60 + 6 GB Hard Drives > ATI 128 Rage > Internal Zip 100 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
