OS9 flies on a G4. The only thing that's slow is building the file system when it boots if you have a lot of files. I have one G4 with a couple of 1 TB drives and OS X installed al…

OS 9 on my 1.25GHz MDD dual G4 screams, even though it is effectively only using one CPU under OS 9.

i don't have a laptop but i can tell you that if you are only going to do text editing or things like that, on my 450mhz G4 desktop OS 9 is very fast for things like that.....also …

You'll need at least 32MB RAM for OS 9 to even start (even then it hugs virtual memory). Stalling at the same place every time at boot up = (in my experience) a dodgy CD or optica…

I have no idea. It originally shipped with *shudders* 16 MB of RAM, but I don't know if the previous owner upgraded it or not. I'd really prefer to run System 7 or OS 8 if possible…

First off, how much RAM? That could be why OS 9 is choking.

iTunes? yuck. I already use it as my programming machine anyway.

I use a MIDI Timepiece (original) by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU). I think even the modern versions have an 8-pin serial port for older Macs. MOTU's own FreeMIDI software works good.…

OMS is also freely available (Open Midi System). Apple MIDI Manager runs best on older System software (7.x.x and below). There's nothing wrong with a 61xx if you're running a st…

I hated my 6116. I would get the suggested MIDI kit and use that instead on the 7500.

There are MIDI kits for the mac serial port (macman midiman for one), try to find one of those. You will also need MIDI software.

I like them too, what machine can you get in your favorite color? And is the shape of en egg?

I saw one for $10 at a yard sale. Always liked the graphite, so took it home to satisfy my curiosity. With 1GB of RAM, a 160GB disk, airport card, and a fan it runs Tiger quite wel…
