I'm running:
Beige G3/266 OC'd to 300 320MB RAM 40GB IDE drive 24X IDE CD-ROM SCSI internal Zip100 Slot A1: USB card Slot B1: Realtek 8139 10/100 NIC Slot C1: ATI Mach64 (2MB) Slot F1: Built-in ATI Rage II+DVD (2MB)
I also have a self-built SCSI case with a 4GB IBM hard disk, Jaz 1GB internal, Zip100 SCSI internal, and a Yamaha 4x2x6 CDRW.
Not a barn burner, but not bad either. It also has the 8GB limitation with OSX.
Originally, I upgraded from 10.0.3 to 10.0.4, then got an update to 10.1, which was upgraded to 10.1.5. Later I got an update to 10.2, which was updated to 10.2.6.
When 10.2.8 was available, I downloaded it on my PC at work, but did not install it. Good thing too, considering the problems other people were having with it. I downloaded it again when the second update to 10.2.8 was offered. I installed it, and got occasional black screens which I could only restart the machine to get the screen back. A session with Repair Permissions took care of it, but I wanted to partition my 40GB drive differently.
I backed up anything I wanted to keep to a separate drive, and partitioned the drive the way I wanted it. I then installed a full 10.2 to the drive with 9.2 to a different partition, and updated to 10.2.8. I kept getting the black screen problem, and wound up wiping the X partition and reinstalling 10.2.6. I have been trouble-free with it since.

Hi All--
I've been running 10.2.6 without any problems and am interested in upgrading to 10.2.8. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention recently when this was being discussed--is there a problem associated with doing this as against having gone from 10.1, incrementaly throught to 10.2.6, without any problems? Not knowing the answer, I made a copy of the entire drive containing 10.2.6 with all the apps etc that I have accumulated and put it onto an 80 GB ATA drive. The system is not blessed, the sys folder is blank. So my second question is how to activate it. I tried dragging it to the desktop when I was in sys 9 but no results,. Is there a utility that will activate it. It doesn't show up in Disk Warrior either. I suppose that I could try to install Jag from the installation CDs, directly into the 80 GB. Any suggestions?
