Hello G-Books list, I'm a long time user of lowendmac but new to the list. I'm wondering if anyone has experience or second-hand knowledge of the Avanti 400Mhz G3 upgrade cards for the Wallstreet II from Wegener Media. I've seen announcements on lowendmac and other sites but few evaluations

My question for you is: do you like OS X as much as OS 9 on your Wallstreet? I've been interested in the upgrade, but I'm really happy with the speed of OS 9 on my Wallstreet 233. Thanks, Mike I am really surprised at how well Mac OS X Jaguar and Panther run on a stock 266Mhz Wallstreet. I

of reference here. What OS are we talking about? Every version of the classic Mac OS that the Wallstreet can run? I'm not actually sure about how OS 8.1 handles DVDs, but I'm pretty sure 8.5-8.6 does it the same as 9, 9.2.2 to be exact, which is what I have. We're back to the semantics issue again

Yes, they do read CDs. Either your CD is an unsupported format or your drive is broken. On Sep 17, 2004, at 7:27 PM, Steven J Haack wrote: will the DVD player on the wallstreet read your average CD or do you need a sperate player to do that?? I am working on a unit now and it wont read CD's
