He is still running OS 9.0.4. I told him to hook the computer up to
his network and download an upgrade to 9.1 asap -- after he gets
some space available, of course. For his use (mainly a purchased
copy of ProTools), there's no reason for him to move up to OS X, I
think. OS 9.1 should be fine. And safe.
The computer had only one stick of 128MB RAM. I had him buy two
sticks of 256MB. He'll have them tomorrow.
Definte improvement.
I encouraged him to buy a secondary internal hard drive. I'm
familiar with SCSI, not ATA, but it is possible, right? A 160GB ATA
slave drive sounds good, no?
No...the internal IDE bus will only recognize 128GB of it, and that
could well be unstable. For > 120 gb you either need to go to an
external FW drive or get an ATA controller.
