I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I assume the bus speeds are wildly different)
B&W bus speed = 100MHz, 8600/9600 = 50MHz. But if you're mounting that in a ZIF adapter, the jumpers/switch on the adapter should be setting the speed, IIRC.

CPU Director is made by Powerlogix and is designed for their products. Are you sure it would work with mine?
Yes, it will, at least to activate the cache.

Also, is CPU director available as a stuffit file or something? the download on their is a zipped up dmg file which I can't even mount under OS9.
Do you have access to another Mac running OS X? You might need to unzip it there and transfer it across.
