The machine in question is a powercenter 180 with a Sonnet 500MHz G3 card and 512mb of ram. I used XpostFacto to install OSX. I have two 18 gig IBM scsi drives on it. The first one is partitioned in three. One 9.22 (6gigs) One OSX (6gigs) and one applications folder where I have all the OSX apps. The second drive has all the dmg images. OSX does not seem to recognize the apple talk printer either. It does not load the classic either. Just hangs while booting. I will follow your advice and disable some unnecessary extensions.

Arm is your cheapest "Soup-Up" as to speed. How big is your H/D? Is it partitioned? My PCP 240 with a Sonnet 500 MHz G3 card has 512 MB ram and works well on OS 9.1. It is slower on some operations than it was with OS 8.6 but the extra features in 9.1 are addictive. I find my self using it, rather than my OS 10.2 - 9.2 eMac because it is so comfortable. Try disabling some of the unused printer, modem and other selections in your OS 9 system folders. Don't throw them away just create a "~Removed Items OS 9" folder out side your System Folder. Then Create a Disabled Extensions Folder ... Control Panels ... preferences, etc., inside it. Never throw anything away. The title doesn't necessarily match the function. With faster chips, more ram and larger H/Ds ... a lot of folks have forgotten how excessive preference files, extensions and control panels sap a machines speed. This was brought home to me a couple of years age. I bought a PCP 210 on ebay that had been used as a server. It had just the basics: A WP, spread sheet, internet and such. It was super fast compared to my loaded up with S/W, shareware, freeware - PCP 240. RHB Stephane Kenn wrote: > No It is running 9.22.
