This too I suspect is because the Op systems that are best are 8.1 and 9.1
8.0 < 8.1 < 8.5.1 < 9.x < 8.6, IMHO.
9.x uses too much precious RAM. 8.6 is the most stable of the 8.x's.
Not with the sonnet upgrade. Even sonnet warns against 8.6 with the upgrade. I repeat, w/g3 upgrade, 8.1 or 9.1 ONLY
And I'm not sure what people consider a LOT of memory, but 9.1 on my 1400/G3400/ 60 RAM takes up 17.1 megs. And I have tons-o-crap (tm) loaded; 435 items in my extensions folder. I may have turned off the MacOS Help (AppleGuide, whatever it's called, that is a hog) and a couple things like that, but that's it.
9.1 is The place to be if you have the MHz, even if you are lower on RAM than 40 or 60.
8.5/6 has some bugs that will never get fixed, I agree with the 8.1 or 9.1 recommendation, if you want to use the G3 cards.
I have 2 24 meg stackables installed. From one of the long-time ebay 1400 seller who sold them as "matched".
