You will need a third party driver for your cdrom - or a hacked apple version - the archives of this list have VOLUMES of info on this very subject (see the footer for a searchable archive). I use the E100 under 9.1-9.2.2 with softraid with no problems(on a s900). I have however flashed it with a jackhammer only firmware update. If I'm not mistaken the last umax e100 software works with 9.1. Apple Drive setup that comes with 9.1 has no problems with the various IBM SCSI drives on the internal bus (or the E100). > 3)any good stuff I haven't thought of. > > This is our only home computer, can't really afford a new Mac and don't > want a PC, so I can't hose the install without risking w&ks tearing me a > new one. > Thanks for all advice, and to help on dealmac forum as well. With two hard drives available: Install 9.1 to non-boot drive reboot and see what functionality is missing (i.e. drivers etc) copy old ones from 8.1 and test check (if necessary) web for updates reinstall apps (only necessary if they modify system - i.e. extensions) copy data files to new volume OR system folder to old volume you should be in business ABOUT PREFS: most browsers and email clients store bookmarks and saved mail somewhere on the filesystem. To avoid having the w&ks up in arms (speaking from experience), locate these files and move them to the apropriate places, before deleting any of the old files. This list is a good resource with friendly people who will help you. Tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
