896HD?
? hmmm!!!! Just found a used 828 Mk2 for cheap.
Is it true it does not support midi (OMS) under OS9 or has this been upgraded to work at a later point?

yes what upgrade is that in the pismo G4 550mhz upgrade?
I'm not sure of the exact card, I bought it this way. Looking online I see there were a few different companies offering it years ago, not sure if dosdude still does it. With 1GB of RAM and an SSD, it flies through any OS 9 stuff I need it to do. Even Tiger works great and a PCMCIA wifi card gets it connected to modern wifi routers.
