I use Ram Doubler 9 with no problems on OS 9.1. It allows triple the installed RAM, (192 Meg vs the 1400's max of 64 Meg) but runs slow even with a G3/217 upgraded 1400. (Much faster on my partner's G3/333 upgraded 1400) I might note that it runs at least as fast for the same memory allocation on my PBs as VM.
One thing I've noticed is that RM doesn't steal anywhere near the room on the hard drive that VM requires. This can become very important when using the small capacity OEM drive. The only problem I had with RM 9 was on a desktop PPC using OS 8.1 and OS 9.1. When installed on both OS drives, it would work with either. When I'd swap to 8.1, RM would work, but when I went back to 9.1, it wouldn't without a reinstall. It would continue working on the 8.1 drive no matter how many times the OS was swapped.
