Re: Good luck, and questions on NuPowr upgrade
Thanks for the input, Cam. Does OS9 have any really compelling features that would make the upgrade irresistible? I don't know if I would call them really compelling, but 9.1 adds improved file security, additional shortcuts in the Finder, IP-based AppleShare without using AppleShareIP, improved Sherlock, Software Update control panel, and better multiple-user support. There are also some USB enhancements, like USB printer sharing over TCP, but this is irrelevant on a 1400, of course. Myself, I prefer 9.1 to 8.6, but it's because I'm used to all the little niceities. I would still upgrade to 8.6, though. 8.6's nanokernel improves performance quite a bit. -- - personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ --- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Anything that can be put into a nutshell belongs there. -- F.

Re: Good luck, and questions on NuPowr upgrade
Thanks for the additional input, Cam, that's very helpful. I currently have 8.5 on this machine (that was what came installed on it), and no installation CD's for 8 or 9, so I may just stick with what I've got. I may really need to get an 8 or 9 CD so I can format the blank hard drive that's now been tranplanted to a backup machine. It's great to have this forum to get selfless, sharp help on issues, so thanks to both you and Dave for taking the time to help, it was invaluable. I am currently running on the 1400 at 233 MHz. For a $10 upgrade, that ain't bad! Ciao!

I've heard the process is pretty simple, but that doesn't mean I can intuit it out of nowhere, and I want to be sure not to break/ruin anything. Thanks for any help! Richard (Winfidel) BTW, How well will OS 9 run on the 1400 with 64 MB RAM and the G3 processor? I'm now on 8.5, but might consider upgrading. What are the main real advantages of OS 9? Thanks! RA -- I once bought a 1400c on eBay ($30 + shipping) that came with a 250 MHz G3 upgrade. The previous owner didn't knew because he didn't have the NuPowr extension in the system. I just copied the extension to the Extensions Folder and it showed as intended in the System Profiler. You don't need the extension, as the CPU will work at its stated speed, but the extension enables the cache, making it a little faster, and permits System Profiler to see the upgraded CPU.

Re: Good luck, and questions on NuPowr upgrade
I know OS 9 needs 64MB RAM and runs on G3, because I had to buy my daughter an extra 32MB chip to put it on her early iMac. It absolutely needs 64MB. Carshes the machine with 32MB. The biggest thing I liked about OS 9 was the Software Update feature, which was a great improvementg over having to figure out what updates you needed and where they could be found. However, now all updates are out for OS 9. I went from System 7 to System 9. I really liked 9.
