Not unless it has a PPC upgrade card. You can go to 8.1, but a 68k machine like your Quara cannot boot form an HFS+ (MacOS Extended) volume. Alternately, you can work around all that by installing a Power Macintosh 8500 motherboard into your 840 Case. But if it's an 840AV, you'll lose the AV capabilities, which some people around here apparently think is sacrelige. -David -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
