Very nice! After a lifetime of UNIX boxen work (and OS X for everyday use), I'm getting into classic Mac OS - 7 and 9 at present. I'll be enjoying that, as well as, of course, the MLA!

I have such a "holy grail" MDD (bought specifically new because it *could* boot OS 9 still). It has dual 1.8GHz Sonnet G4s in it now and is the Classilla development machine.

^ amazing!

My QS2002 might not be "Holy Grail", but with the Duet 1.8G upgrade it certainly is my preferred desktop machine.

Pity it only has a max of 1.5GB RAM. I think for its next birthday I'll by it a new SSD for 10.5, and put a IDE/SATA adapter on the 60GB SSD for 9.22 to play with.

Stick a SATA PCI card in that puppy. It'll be way faster than an adapted drive on the internal IDE bus.

The 60GB SSD (OWC with Sandforce Controller for built-in TRIM support) running 10.5.8 is on the PCI SATA controller, just wasn't able to find one supported by MOS9, so I'll try to get the 60GB working on 9.2.2 using a SATA/IDE adapter, and put a larger SSD for 10.5.8, probably a 256GB.
