Re: 3400c & Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

I never tried any of the cardbus cards with 7.6.1, and I'm pretty sure they wont work. If you're 3400c is like your main or only machine then maybe you should stick with OS 9. however if you really want to make it seem fast and you have other machines to use instead of the 3400c I very much s

I did try 9.2.2.. and yeah it was quite fast finder response was excellent in 9.2.2, better than all of the other 9s. It was very RAM hungry though, and crashed alot especially with PCMCIA cards installed. I made a whole page about it, and other fairly neat stuff I've done with my 3400c (inclu

Re: 3400c & Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

I don't think thats possible. 7.6.1 definetely boots faster than 8 (without a doubt). Everything on 7.6.1 feels faster except the window redraws. On Mar 13, 2004, at 11:17 AM, KG wrote: I am actually surprised that 8.1 doesn't run faster than 7.6 on a 3400 with maxed-out RAM. I have tried them

3400c & Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

So I got my 3400c running 7.6.1 now and it's super duper. Everything is fast and its pretty stable. Only one thing bugs me and that is that windows seem to redraw slowly if I move a window from one location to another. Mac OS 8 didn't do this - window redraws were immediate. But in 7.6.1 I c
