To quote Homer Simpson (my hero) and his Dad, Abraham: "I DON'T KNOW!!!!"

All I can say is that Mac OS 8.5 is running, although slowly!

I don't believe this machine was ever upgraded to PPC. When I got it, it
was still running System 7.5.3 (what a DOG!), and I don't believe this
system should ever have been installed on this machine; I could be
mistaken; I've already wiped that System Folder out.

I can't find my own Apple/Macintosh database at the moment, but if
memory serves me, shouldn't OS 8.1 been the LAST version a 950 should be
able to run???????

I defer to your knowledge and wisdom, but I still stand by what I said before.

Allen
