Simply put, don't bother with anything above OS 8.6. 9.2 will not run
on any 1400 without some hacking, the best you can consider is 9.1, and
I wouldn't bother with that unless you have a G3 processor card in it.
32 megs of RAM should get someone by in OS 8.6, but more is always
nice. I think 8.1 would run with less RAM being used up, but it has
less features too.
I'd suggest you take the 133 mHz processor the other gentleman offered
and put that in (it's super duper easy, trust me, you can handle it).

No, I'm not getting a 1400c, but I'm about to make an attempt to set
one
up for someone. Since its hard drive has to be wiped, I need to put an
OS
on it. Here's the little info I have on it so far (it's coming over
with
my boyfriend tomorrow night) --
1400c, 32 megs of RAM, 117 mHz processor.
Will this run OS 9.2.2? And by "run," I mean actually run decently, not
crawl -- with what it's already got. Adding RAM or making other
modifications/buying stuff for it is not an option at this point, if
ever. I hear its primary use will be for word processing.
TIA for your replies.
