Would 9.2.2 be feasable on a 5300? Anyone using it?
I'm thinking with a max RAM of 64MB that it would be difficult.
Actually I'm running 9.2.2 on my 3400c 240mhz ram maxed out and it's
quite a bit zippier than 8.6 or 9.1. The finder is much, much faster.
I would recommend at least trying 9.2.2

Of course its perfectly possible.
However in my opinion it would be absolutely terrible. Why would you want
to do this?

I tried it twice on both a 3400/240 and a 200 with clean installs and
it was great EXCEPT that it

If you're 3400c is like your main or only machine then maybe you should
stick with OS 9. however if you really want to make it seem fast and
you have other machines to use instead of the 3400c I very much

I did try 9.2.2.. and yeah it was quite fast finder response was
excellent in 9.2.2, better than all of the other 9s.
It was very RAM hungry though, and crashed alot especially with PCMCIA
cards installed.
I made a whole page about it, and other fairly neat stuff I've done with
my 3400c
I went to your site, and WOW, what a machine!!
So do you know of anyo other windows emulator type stuff that is not
Microsoft, perhaps with osx compatability, as I havent got anything
between my powerbook 160 and my powerbook g4 12 DVI?

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure a second company has announced
a PC emulator for Macs, that is G5 compatible, and isn't Microsoft,
fairly recently.
It is very fast. It feels great to have it running as fast as it was
when it was the fastest notebook computer the world has ever seen
I am actually surprised that 8.1 doesn't run faster than 7.6 on a 3400 with
maxed-out RAM. I have tried them both on a 5300 and 8.1 always seemed more
I don't think thats possible.
7.6.1 definetely boots faster than 8 (without a doubt).
Everything on 7.6.1 feels faster except the window redraws.

So I got my 3400c running 7.6.1 now and it's super duper. Everything
is fast and its pretty stable.
Only one thing bugs me and that is that windows seem to redraw slowly
if I move a window from one location to another. Mac OS 8 didn't do
this - window redraws were immediate. But in 7.6.1 I
Why would 7.6.1 redraw slower than 8? Especially since everything else
runs much faster.
I would suspect that 7.6.1 just doesn't do QuickDraw acceleration as well as
8.1 would.
Running 7.6, I bet your 3400 feels as fast as a G4. I could never do it,
though; I like the features in OS 9 too

OS9 running on the 3400c wasn't worth
