Hi All, new to this list... seems like a great place.
My dilemma is with a partially restored series 11 (266) Wallstreet. Last year I put in a 40 gb HD, extra ram (256 total), a USB (ADS 2.0 turbo) card, and an 802.11b Wireless Lan card, running OS 9.2.2 and !0.2. Worked great for my purposes at that time but I know find myself traveling more and hoping to use it in the field for capturing video/audio files from a quick cam or other USB camera. I've also hit the OS 10.2.8 bump on my desktop and plan to upgrade soon to 10.3, and was hoping to keep the 2 machines synched. I'm also still fairly dependent on Classic for my older Apps, though I'd be willing to dual boot on the laptop if need be.
Is anyone running !0.3 daily with a Wallstreet? Will I need the extra ram (expensive low profile) ? Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my G4 desktop (dual 450 gigabit ethernet) without any problems (missing drivers/control panels)?
I also need a new pram battery (expensive) and new main batteries (expensive) and when I recently upgraded to 10.2.8, I lost my USB connectivity to my external OWC Elite HD and also took a speed hit. (might this be the dead pram battery?)
Is it worth the expense of upgrading further or should I bite the bullet and forget the whole idea of 10.3, synching, and video capture on this venerable old machine? (love torturing Windows users by telling them it's a 1998 model!)
