Which compatiblity list is this? I have been using 10.1.0 thru 10.1.5 for the past two month without any problems.

Do not trust Apple System Profiler, it gives misleading read outs for those upgrade cards. I do notice the speed difference and power consumption with and without the cache. > > 3) Is sound not supported ?

It means Startup Disk in OS9. In any case, you should stay with XPF because it patches your NVRAM differently than what Apple's softwrae does. > 7) I want to back it up before I make further installation, should I use > DiskCopy to make a image and restore it when I had problem ?

You need to boot off the CD to upgrade to 10.2, so yes. -- _ )/___ __/(___)#####c / /\\|| \ / \ be nice to motorcylists. don't tailgate them. \__/ ---- \__/~~~~~ ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
