Not necessarily slow, OS 9.1 can be quite satisfactorily speedy on a 2300C, caveated (!) :-) by two things:
In most situations, I would say "everybody has their own opinion!" But in this case I must say, the above is an entirely false statement. Unless you sit around running SimpleText all day, or judge speedy-ness by opening and closing Finder windows and seeing how fast the Control Panels sub menu appears, I cannot possibly see how OS 9 can be called anything close to "speedy" on a PowerBook Duo. In fact, even when doing THOSE things!
1) you must have _real_ 56MB ram (2300's maximum)
and!
B) you gotta replace the puke-slow original HD with a modern, fast drive
(say 8 or 10 GBs at least.)
With those two conditions met you _will_ be satisfied with OS 9.1. If you
can't do either, then go with the other recommendations.
Blasphemy! Don't listen to the lies!!!!
