"What are the benefits of installing 9.2.x?
Apple touted 9.2.1 as a minor update to 9.1 that added "better classic compatibility". However, the performance inprovements that were added in 9.2.x are clearly noticeable once you install it. In particular, the Finder is incredibly responsive, and Open Transport networking is vastly more stable. However, the four most important reasons for installing 9.2.x are:
1. Compatibility with ATI's latest drivers. ATI dropped support for OpenGL versions lower than 1.2.2. (9.1 has 1.2.1)
2. You can't run DVD Studio Pro 1.5 or 1.2.1 without 9.2.2.
3. You can't run Final Cut Pro 3 without 9.2.2.
4. Full compatibility with iPod."
Thanks Tarage & Will.
I did not know about the more speedy finder or the networking stability.
Although we don't do DVD Studio or Final Cut Pro, or even own an iPod, we do have an ATI Radeon 7000 in the C600. It is functional because we copies the appropriate extensions from a 9.2 system (thanks to Will's instructions).
I installed it for compatibility with my ATI Radeon 7000 Video card. So many odd bugs I wished I'd stayed with OS 9.1 which I'd used for a long time with no issues at all. No longer an issues as no longer use OS 9 except once a week or so I boot into OS 9 to archive my email . I 'd like to soon stop doing that. Need to figure out how to archive "mail" mail boxes.
Will, I found a way to make backups of my mail boxes when I was looking for a way to copy them to another computer. Look in the Library folder of your Home folder. In there you will find a Mail folder. The Mailboxes Folder, inside that Mail folder can easily be copied or moved to another machine. Although I have not tried it, I suspect you could configure something like Retrospect to regularly back up the Mailboxes folder.
