Oh my goodness I highly highly highly dis-recommend installing OS 9.1 on a Duo 2300c. At most install 8.6. I would probably stick to 8.1. OS 9 offers little feature benefits to anybody running a Duo to make up for the massive extreme horrendous slow down, hogging of hard drive space, and 24mb of RAM (with Virtual Memory turned on - even more slowness!) that it takes up. And don't even think about using the modem with OS 9 - the internal modem on Duos slows the machine down by some ridiculous number like 50%. That's barely acceptable with System 7, much less OS 9.
You have to get yourself out of the "newer is always better" syndrome - for it is very untrue. Especially on a Duo 2300. OS 9.1 yikes!
Just a word of warning..... Either way you have to get an external CD-ROM, and for that you need either a dock or the crazy Duo - SCSI microdock. Or a minidock.

I am trying to reconstruct a perfect duo system around a 2300c. I want to install System 9.1 but do not have a clue how to do a fresh install since the OS is on CD. Could someone offer a recommendation?
I am a newbie to this list so I apologize if this is not an appropriate question.
Thank you, Mark
