Hello folks,
In a fit of probable insanity, I'm considering installing the 8.5/8.6 system CD that I bought several months ago into my J700, which has been working fine since the HD and PRAM battery replacement, also several months ago. Turns out that probably none of my HDs were bad, just a worn-out PRAM battery. I'll be attempting to install it onto a virgin 4.5GB drive, using the same procedure that I've used to install the 7.6.1 that I'm currently running. My questions are conceptual:
Is the code for 8.5/8.6 readable by our 604e processors? (I've always thought that 8.6 required a G3 processor).
Umax (or Apple) never 'officially' supported anything beyond 8.1 on our machines (IIRC). I've had no problems running 7.5.5 thru 9.1 on a 604e s900. About the biggest problem is the eternal CDROM/driver thread that has persisted since umax used a non-apple-rommed cd drive in their machine ;)
