Hi folks, I'm new to the list and have been lurking for a few weeks now. I've been running a 9500 w/Formac G3 400 card, 176 mmegs of RAM and system 8.5.1 for a couple of years now with no problems whatsoever.
I also just came into posession of a 9600/200 with an applevision 1710 monitor, that is 18 months newer than the 9500. I am trying to decide what to do with these two systems. The 9600 is running system 8.0 with only 32 megs of RAM. I would like to get system 10.3 and the fastest G4 card that will be stable running on one of them if it's possible. At very minimum I would at least like to get one them up to the highest version of system 9 that they can run. I tried to use the 9.2 system CD that came with my copy of 10.1, (I'm running 10.1.5 on an imac 333) but it won't install on the 9500. I forget what the reason was, as it was a while ago that I tried. I couldn't even get the the 9500 to boot from the 9.2 CD. I'm thinking of just getting the all the best parts into the 9600 for starters. That being the G3 card, and RAM from the 9500, plus an 18 gig scsi drive I added to the 9500. Or should I get the 9600 system updated to the latest greatest version of 9 before the hardware transplants? Any thoughts on where I should start? I'm on digest mode, so I may not be super prompt in replying. Thanks, Steve Zerby __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
