Also, have noted that Panther (OSX 10.3?) is giving me the same - if not longer battery life than 9.2.2 on my flock of three ancient batteries in a Pismo. Maybe there was some kind of 'Battery Reset' effect that was previously not available on the Pismo.
Seems that prior versions of X were problematic in this respect. Only thing I would expect X to impact on battery life might be increased virtual memory use resulting in more HD access. I've got 576 MB in this Pismo, so that may not be happening.

Hi all
I have a 266Mhz wallstreet with 384meg ram and a 20 gig drive Running OSX 2.8. I installed OS92.2 on the second partition for Classic apps but if I try to get it to boot OS9 off the second partition it halts after the Smiley mac and reboots back to OSX.. What do I have set wrong?
Also have any of you noticed that OSX drains the Battery faster then OS9.2.2?
Gary
Go ahead and boot to OSX. . after it boots up, go to your sys. preferences and double click on the icon "startup Disk" then select "Mac OS 9.1/ or 9.2 which ever one you've installed. restart your computer. . . and it should boot up in Os 9
