Yes. It didn't take anything at all. Just installed straight away. I've run it on both a Duo 280c and 520c. What exact problems are you having? >2) How much RAM does 8.1 need? If close to 24 MBs, that could be the >problem. I've run it fine on a Duo 230 with 12 megs of RAM. Doesn't leave a lot for applications but it can be trimmed down nicely. >3) I seem to recall having seen third-party reformatters that let you use a >pseudo-HFS+ on systems lower than 8.1. Am I dreaming here? If not, how well >do they work? No clue. Keep in mind that although 8.1 on a 68k Mac can read HFS+, you won't be able to boot from it. Only PPCs can actually boot from an HFS+. You may have to partition the drive to do it. >Thanks, >Jesse Scott Holder -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
