Re: OS 9 on pb 1400

[Dan Palka]

As usual I recommend no higher than OS 8.6 for pre G3 machines.  OS 9 
runs very slow on even a 3400 (in my opinion).  I like all my 
computers, even slow ones, to at least feel like they're fast.  So I 
usually stick with the lower OS versions if possible.  If you have OS 
8.1 or below, Speed Doubler 8 is a great help with the 68k emulation.

I highly doubt anything you're doing with a 1400 requires OS 9 in any 
way.  So why install it?  It just takes up more HD space, more RAM, and 
runs slow.

Hello, I have a PowerBook 1400cs/133 with 32MB Memory and OS 8.1
installed now, OS 8.12 runs fast and I was wondering if I could put OS
9 on it if that would be a good idea, also can it support Mac OS
9.2.2?  Thanks!
