Hey Andrew,
I find this bit of discourse VERY interesting, as I've been getting the
impression from being on this list that the 5300 and the 190 (*my* PB)
are supposedly similar. Note: I've never laid eyes on, much less used, a
5300, so please forgive me if my following questions/requests for
clarification are particularly unintelligent. OK now, here we go.
Suppose I want to bring my PB 190's OS up from 7.5.3 to 8.1.
Whoah cowboy! The PB 190 is a 68K processer machine. I think OS 7.6.1 is
your upper limit. The PB 5300 is pretty much a PB 190 with:
A) PPC Processer (100 or 117 MHz) B) Better screen and video C) And I think a higher RAM ceiling.
That's why many parts are pretty much interchangable betwwen them.
The 190 can go up to 8.1 with no problem.
