I have OS 9.1 on my 3400 and it's fine. It's been very stable. Check your apps and make sure you're not going to break anything going to OS 9 but otherwise you might as well.
I would reformat using Extended since you're right there anyway. ~tom roth -----Original Message----- From: Ken Strayhorn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 5:01 PM To: PowerBooks Subject: Rebuild 3400c - 8.6 or 9? Friends - Have a 3400c which has provided years of good service. Figure I'll wipe the disk and reinstall the OS and get a fresh start. OS 8.6 was very stable but I thought I'd ask if the jump to OS 9 was worth the trouble. I've lurked on this list and I know that some people think it's much slower than OS 8.6 If I do decide to initialize and go to 9, should I reformat as standard Apple partition or go to the extended format?
