Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
Gary, What is the Lucent Silver card connecting to? I've thought about getting a wireless setup myself but wasn't sure, other than Apple's Airport unit, what would work best with a Mac. Not wanting to spend anymore than necessary I see all these wireless units advertised in the office supply stores, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc but wasn't sure how well they would work with my Mac and a Lucent Silver. I've got a PB3400 running OS 9.1.

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
Tom: I've got the Lucent connecting to my Airport 2 Base Station. The reason I went with the more-expensive alternative is that the ABS will do Appletalkmy Pismo and my son's dual-USB iBook have Airport cards. I've heard/read reports that SMC's wireless will also do Appletalk, but I have not confirmation on this. Gary Tom Roth wrote: Gary, What is the Lucent Silver card connecting to?

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
SO what is the biggest improvement of OS9 on a PB3400 over OS8.6? I am happily running 8.6 but am always tempted by the call of 9 but never sure that it is worth giving up that extra RAM Can those of you having made the upgrade of OS tell me benifits Cheerz Jo0lz Why not just put 9.1 on a partition and boot off whichever one you need to run particular apps (e.g., Disk Burner).

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
George: Not much more to say. I bought the machine on Ebay and when it arrive, it had 8.6 installed. It acted really quirky, freezing periodically for no apparent reason. I finally nailed it down to a bad RAM module (32mb), which Techworks replaced for free. At the time, RAM had dropped; so I ordered a 128 module and put that in. About a month ago or so, I pulled the original 2 gb hard drive and installed an 8 gb drive I pulled from my Pismo. The Lucent Silverlan card works great with Airport. You have to go through some TomeViewer exercises to pull the particular extensions and apps from the Airport software, but once you do that, it's a snap.

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
Sorry, I forgot to post this to the list. Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX Hope, Use the software install disk. This one has the various applications as separate installations. However, DO NOT use the top level MacOS system install. This one will look for the type of machine for which it was intended (iMac, G4, etc.). Rather, dig through the various folders until you find one marked System Install (or something like that). In this folder is another MacOS installer program. This one *should* work on any Mac. I say should, because I used my MacOS Software Install disk from my Bondi iMac (now running 8.6) to install 8.0 on my PB 5300cs. But I couldn't use the included 8.1 updater to go from 8.0 to 8.1 - I had to download the 8.1 updater directly from Apple. Good luck.

Re: OS9 on a PB 3400
