Studying the ReadMes that accompany each OS will separate the opinions about operating systems from the "need". For functional reason and fixes and not just perks, I would run OS 9.1 or 9.2 or 9.2.1 in any G3. There is a vast difference between Open Transport V.1.1.1 and OT 1.1.2. where 7.5.3 or 7.6.1 are concerned. Important note: OT 1.1.1 must already be installed before it can be updated to OT 1.1.2. You may find OT 1.1.2 on a 7.6.1 install CD or on an OS 8. . . I can't recall off hand. I copy mine from a MacAddict CD. From an OS install CD, use "custom install" and you'll find the OT stuff and TCP/IP. The highest version of TCP/IP that an OS will take is also desirable. If I had a Quad booted up right now I'd tell you the version of OT PPP (later became "Remote Access") and version of TCP/IP that I use with 7.6.1. I run 9.1 in this 9500. :�) HTH Terry -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
