I had the same concerns from prior disasters with hardware upgrades. You should read about installing x and you should upgrade if you haven't done so, to a Radion 7000 video card. Some of your peripherals might not be supported in X but you have 2 machines so you could do what I did. My Agfa Duoscan, a "professiona" grade and uncommon scanner, has not had drivers written for X. That stinks and to solve the problem I just left 9.1 on my second S900 and connected the scanner to it. I also installed an ACARD AHARD PCI Ultra ATA/66 PCI card with an ATA 80Gb internal drive. It's faster than an UW SCSI and one of its 4 partitions is my startup drive. I also lost the original 2Gb hard drive. It's not seen in X but I can start up in 9.2.2 and access it. I'm running 10.2.8 which is the last version of Jaguar before Panther. I've been using Macs since the mid 80's and of all the later systems, Jaguar has been the most solid and stable for me. If an app quits the OS and other running apps are not affected. There are a lot of very useful features and integration of various apps. I'm just encouraging you to go ahead. I't's really worth it. dan_A -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
