Bill, My Pismo came with 9.0.4. But I use 9.2.3 (the latest update) regularly and it's fine. I don't know if it would boot with anything earlier than 9.0.4. Looking at Apple's tech specs, they say the Original SSW was 9.0 (not just 9). So I suspect it *ought* to boot off any version of 9.

I've never had problems with my magnetized screwdrivers, and appreciate the ability to retrieve lost little screws from the inner guts of the PB. I would suggest that you keep in mind that there is a strong magnet built into the case of the Pismo itself (directly under your lefthand wrist, as

Which Version MacOS for Pismo

I borrowed another OS9 installation disc from a neighbor and could not boot using it either. It is exactly like mine (OS 9) so I suspect that Pismo will not boot on anything less than OS9.0.2 which is what it originally shipped with. Mine has Jaguar installed and I prefer to simply run it on

AlBook in trouble....Pismo to the rescue!

Wow! That's all I have to say about the new AlBooks. But aside from the wonderful design these little things are a real pain when it comes to fixing something that goes wrong. That's where my trusty old Pismo comes in. In less than 12 hours after she first got it, I managed to render my

Best OS for Pismo

I've been using my Pismo (G3/400, 640RAM, 40GB Travelstar HD) happily for over 2 years and I've found the best OS has been 9.2.2. 9.1 was the pits. Many crashes, stalls and freezes. 9.2.2 has been very stable and snappy. If you have the original hard drive I recommend upgrading to a
