I'm just using this as my project OS 9 box. There are too many problems with the beige's hardware in X to make the jump worth it (no internal floppy support, no wings personality card support, slow bus speed), not to mention the fact that I have stockpiles upon stockpiles of classic mac OS hardware, games and applications to run on the thing. I also have newer computers to handle the heavy-duty stuff. Thanks for offering to test that, though. I look forward to hearing the results.

Even the real Mac 7000's are reasonable. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
