Hmmmm. Well, do they have a demo for OS 8.1? -- because I won't be getting 8.6 any time soon, if at all
I don't know; you'll have to look. That's why I provided the URL.
(another issue I have with an 8.6 upgrade is the possibility that if 8.6 takes my 7200 too "far up" to use in conjunction with my PB 190: OS 7.5.2,
Not an issue. OS 8.6 does/supports everything that 8.1 did, only better, plus stuff.
FWIW, given the cost of an 8.6 CD these days... When you're ready to upgrade what you have a bit, you'd probably be better off selling the 7200 and getting something like a Power Mac 7300. That's a decent speed bump. And the 7300 uses the same memory (DIMMs), keyboard, monitor, other peripherals, and software as the 7200. It also gives you the option of upgrading all the way to OS 9.2.2. If you're careful/picky, 7300/180 or /200 systems can be had for $50 or less.
