I assume you mean a 5500/225 or a 6500/225. There are ways to get older versions of Mac OS X running on either one, but it's not worth the effort because the SCSI and Ethernet are not supported and only old versions of Mac OS X will work at all -- pre 10.3. Any upgrades to increase performance are likely to cost as much as a new Mini, and the Mini is likely to be faster than any upgrade you can stuff into a 6500. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be June 27 at Pitt Academy, 6010 Preston Highway. | The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>. | List posting address: <mailto:macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> | List Web page: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup>
