i too have one but its working without any flaw

My 8500 (RIP) did very well with 8.1, 8.6, and 9.1. Did badly with 8.5 and 9.0.4. I would probably recommend 8.6.

Where's the button to vote "Both, with MOL"? Click to expand... You have to have at least a minimal install of 9.x.x to run BootX so having an option for both seemed redundant.…

Ditto on any full '040s that come up for grabs.

I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not l…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! I'll just keep working on my X86/Radius 81/110 ubuntuGIMPbox™ Hack! )

The biggest problem I had was in copying the kernel and ramdisk from the installed system to the Mac OS partition. I didn't have a small HFS partition and Linux can't write to HFS+…

Ah, good. 9.2.2 is needed for the last update to the ATi drivers so I just hoped it could be done. I've also heard that 9.2.x is faster than 9.1. So now I just have to get OS9Helpe…

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/G…

I like Kubuntu on my Clamshell, it gave the iBook new life, albeit being a bit buggered up

My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.

I tried Ubuntu a couple of times on my iBook and iMac over the years. It's been a while but I think I had video problems with both (the iMac for sure). Kubuntu especially was very …

Could just be the drivers were not tested in OS 9.2.x and they don't feel like taking returns or testing for that OS.

So the instruction manual from Sonnet says their upgrades only work up to 9.1 but I know there are people here who refuse to accept such things so I have to ask. Have any of you go…

Carbon isn't modern?

given that situation yes

So you just got a beige PCI Mac with no OS installed and you have Mac OS 9.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 for PPC Macs available for a clean install. Given how old 9.1 is and that no modern sof…

If you're parting with anything, I'm certainly interested in any LC motherboards, a couple 68040 processors, and a SCSI to Ethernet adapter.

Trading Post? Click to expand... Yes, here too. There are, however, certain things that are worth real money (like SE/30 ethernet cards) on the right day on eBay. On this topi…

When I cold boot my SE, it takes, oh, about 20 seconds to prompt me for my boot floppy. I think that this is the computer checking the RAM, {snip} Click to expand... If the de…

Hopefully my SE won't need a cap job anytime soon! Click to expand... It is already overdue for one. :beige: Best to start planning for it now, it's only a matter of time.

If that fails, you might be able to do a visual check against the images in the appropriate Nubus Mafia categories. That's some truly top-notch conquesting eBay definite…
