Re: OS X (10.2.2) successful on Wallstreet

Congrats to AJ, Amanda, the lower slot will take a 256 low profile sodimm as will the upper, its space is large so up to a 2 inch Sodimm will fit the upper. And I am sending this from a wallstreet with 10.2.6. I have a 233 mhz board in a bag and a 500mhz Blue Chip running in it. Works as well as the daughters Ibook 700 G3. I am stumped as to how a unix system cannot deal with SCSI on this old book. Makes me scratch my head. TTFN

Hi all,
to those who've held back installing OS X on their wallstreet because
of all the naysayers, well, count me as one who's found it to run very
satisfactory.

I did put in a fast (20gb 5400rpm travelstar) Hard drive, and maxed the
memory at 512mb, but other than that, my 266mhz G3 wallstreet is stock.

And it is running fine. I did give up a tiny bit of functionality (I've
got to search for drivers that no longer work for some of my older
peripheral, and may not find the), but I also installed OS 9.2.2 on the
other partition of the hard drive, so I'll be able to start up on sys 9
if I need to use these again.

There is no question that in my mind the OS X interface is much more
elegant. It takes some getting used to, especially the file handling
and look of the windows. I do also kind of miss all the control panels
and the ability to fine tune things more, but I think I can get used to
OS X.
