FWIW, I'm currently using 9.2.2 on my Pismo (384MB RAM, and 10GB > drive - to be upgraded as soon as funds become available). I have the very same floppy drive hooked to my OS X 10.2.2 B&W G4.

"You'll have to give me a brain dump on FOOBAR before you start your new job at HackerCorp." See core dump (sense 4).
