You have to put in a G3 accelerator card. With the OS 9.2.x hack installers, you can get 9.2.x installed on a 1400, but for 9.x of any sort, a G3 is recommended. OS X won't presently work on *any* NuBus machine, even one with an aftermarket G3 (including the 1400).

Strongly disagree. Apple VM before OS X is an absolute dog and dreadfully inefficient as far as speed and HD utilitization. OTOH, RD uses compression and reallocation techniques so the hard disk needs to be hit less, and requires less HD space when it *does* hit the HD, to boot. RD9 was a great upgrade for my 1400 and is a significant improvement over Apple VM. Incidentally, my roadwarrior 1400 was a 1400cs/117 which has been turned into a "c" screen with a G3/333, 60MB RAM, external video option, 3Com 3C589 Ethernet PCMCIA NIC and BestData 56K modem running OS 9.1 with RD9.
