Perfectly true. A 1400 with enough RAM can install, boot from and run OS 9.1. I should have written 9.2.x at that stage of my post, since functionality of 9.1 is a given. The point remains, however, that any flavour of OS 9 is of little reward, even with the full 64MB of RAM, except to say that one has done it. Neither do OS 9 flavours have the verve or élan that OS 8.6 has on a 1400, as well as having a larger footprint in RAM.
