Well, I have slogged through upgrading my PB2400/G3 from OS 8.1 to 8.6. No, the iMac DV installer CD did not work, it just said "No" and quit. After copying the system from the iMac, and sorting through all the control panels, strips, extensions, fonts and prefs, it's about 98% working - haven't tested all apps yet. The most disturbing thing was that my Dayna Communicard (10BT Ethernet PCMCIA card) seems to not work with the two Open Transport 2.5.1 extensions that seemed to ship with OS 8.6: OpenTransport 2.5.1 open transport library Open Transport ASLM Modules 2.5.1 library To get it to work, I removed these extensions and replaced them with the old Open Transport 1.3.1 files from OS 8.1: Open Tpt AppleTalk Library 541,754 bytes 1.3.1 libr OMGR Open Tpt Internet Library 485,155 bytes 1.3.1 libr OMGR Open Transport Library 587,352 bytes 1.3.1 libr OMGR OpenTptAppleTalkLib 59,455 bytes 1.3.1 shlb otan OpenTptInternetLib 281,210 bytes 1.3.1 shlb otan OpenTransportLib 586,133 bytes 1.3.1 shlb otan The Dayna Communicard is no longer made or supported. I have version 2.3.1 of their software, which is the latest and last. Is anyone out there using a Communicard with OS 8.6? I have the non-modem version (Ethernet LAN only, no modem phone line). Also, does anyone know if I'm going to have any other problems with this old Open Transport under 8.6? If not, I'll let you know if I do!
