I would recommend you get OS 8.6. It was more stable for me than OS 8 or 8.5. If you get a 400 or 500MHz G3 daughter card and load up with RAM, OS 9.1 is wonderful. BUT with the 604e bd, OS 9.1 slowed my 240 down too much. RHB ******************** "cumulo444 @hotml.com" wrote: > > I have acquired a PowerBase 240.
