I have c600 running on OS 8. Can someone explain step by step How I can go to system 9. I bought a Sonnet G3 upgrade that crashes the mac often on OS 8. I can't believe you can run OS 10 on this old mac but I want this mac to run 9 or 9.1 or 9.2. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

one of the last ones left to make the change.Well, I guess I'm really behind the curve.
But I finally convinced 9.1 to boot. What had got me on the wrong track was
the alert I would receive: "This startup disk will not work on this
Macintosh model. Use the latest Installer to update this disk for this
model."
So I was concentrating on the disk formatting when the problem turned out to
be the Sonnet Processor Enabler software that I needed to reinstall
correctly. I was just copying the various items from my 8.6 folder to 9.1
but apparently something deeper gets installed that is essential to
operation. Mystery solved. Now I can begin to enjoy my circa 2000 operating
system.
I agree, it's been a great, long lasting computer with few problems for me.i'll be sad one day when i'll have to retire it, but it's so well built and flexible, i don't know when that time will come.
(the fan noise is a bit loud)
(I can't boot from the CDrom drive...don't know why; never could)
thanks again for your help.
