I'll have to agree. 9.1 is much more stable than 9.0.x and runs beautifully on my 1400/G3/217 and 1400/G3/333. I gave up on attempting to get 9.2 to even install on either, so I couldn't tell if it would have been as good. 9.1 also worked quite well (if slower than 8.1) on both 1400s in their original 117 speeds.
I recommend as much RAM as possible. It runs fine and allows lots of other programs to operate well with the 1400's 64 Meg Max under 8.1, but I had to use RAM Doubler to boost to 192 Meg with 9.1. This was a bit slower than 8.1 with the 117 MHZ CPUs, but very quick with the G3 upgrades. David Allen Cameron Kaiser wrote: > > If you're running OS 9.0.4, upgrade to 9.1.

On my 1400+G3/333, I just stayed with 9.1. > -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
