Well, there you go. ;-) The best advice is probably to upgrade the RAM and then try 8.6 and 9.1 and see which one you like best. I probably should have mentioned that my 3400 is a 240 MHz model with a 5400 RPM hard drive upgrade, so my mileage on OS 9 and someone else's might not be the same. It might not be so hot on a 180 or 200 MHz model with the stock hard drive. The hard disk makes a big difference on the 3400, as it does on any pre-G3 PowerBook. But whatever you do, I think we'd all agree that you should avoid hacking OS 9.2 or OS X (yes, it's possible with 144 MB) on there. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
