Welcome back, Noah! I've never run OS 9, so I have no input (other than to say I repeatedly hear that it runs kinda slow on a stock 1400). Are you thinking of getting a G3 upgrade at some point? What features of OS9 are you really wanting to get? I've considered it, but haven't heard any

With those specs, I would clearly advise upgrading the RAM in your 1400. It really takes 64 MB of RAM to really make 9 sing, at the least. Of course, I haven't run 9 on anything less than a G3 Lombard with 192 MB of RAM and the 400 MHz processor, so I can't speak for a 1400. Caleb On Monday

I've tried OS 9.1 on all three of the 1400 flavors and even with 64MB of RAM they don't run nealry as quick as with OS 8.6. I have always put OS 8.6 back on the 1400's because it they were too slow. Without a G3 upgrade in a 1400 it will not handle OS 9 very well. Agreed. However, with a G3

The PCMCIA controller in the 1400 doesn't support the CardBus protocol, and that is required for any USB card to work. It's possible to hack a 2400, 3400 or Kanga to support CardBus, but not a 1400. How much of a hack is it for the 2400c? Can you give details or point me to a description
