Re: Best OS for my PB2400?

I'd run OS 8.6 on a 2400 with that configuration. It can do OS 9, but 9 in my experience is a little sluggish on a 603e unless you're using a 3400c or a desktop with 128MB or more of RAM. I think you'd find that 8.6 gives you a good balance of features without OS 9's sometimes bloated feeling.

regarding the best OS to run under this configuration. Oh, I am definitely interested in getting a wireless pc card, and may eventually get a USB pc card (if the 2400 is truly CardBus compliant). Thoughts? Thanks! Gary F. Daught [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <h

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

Thank you, Drew & Dan in particular for all the helpful commentaries on the merits of various OS's and demerits of VM. Alas I don't have 9.1 available, but do have the 8.6 upgrade and was (before last night, see below) on the verge of installing it just to see if it would help, as a clean reinstal

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

Victoria, I have 48MB in the 5300ce and 40MB in the 5300cs. OS 8.6 is supposed to require 32MB, but it can run in less. Sure, that doesn't give me a whole lot of space left for apps, but it's enough to do what I do on the 5300. When I'm seriously pressed for space, I _might_ turn on RAM Dou

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

I run 8.6 on a 1400/133, it is a snappy little system, although I would prefer it use a little less memory for the system, it is up to about 20 MB. I agree, a G3 would be great, but that would mean paying more for an upgrade card than I did for the whole machine, which is a little overboard, consid

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

I run 9.1 on my 1400/166 64M ram, and it is seriously slow. Like OS 8.1 on an LC475 slow. I appreciate the features though so I keep it as the OS on this machine. I have tried 7.53 and 8.1 as well and the best compromise between performance and stability seemed to be OS 8.1. Don't have a c

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

Depends on how much RAM you have in it. If you're at 32 megs or higher, definitely OS 8.1. The 5300 is far more stable under it than any version of 7.x.x, or at least it has been to me. The key to speed under OS 8 is to turn off any extensions you don't need. It was a real slug under 8.1 when I ins

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

I run 8.6 on a 5300cs and a 5300ce, mostly because I can. OS 9 was just too much of a pooch for my tastes. But I think that the _best_ OS for the 5300 series is probably either 7.6.1 or 8.1. If you need more modern features, 8.1 might give you some of those. If all you care about is the nic

Re: Best OS for a 5300cs

>>useable and/or highest OS is you would suggest for a PB 5300cs<< I've used 7.5.5 to 8.6. 7.6.1 seems to be the best overall, but that's subjective as hell. 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1 use about twice as much RAM, and there's a noticeable difference in boot times whether hot or cold. 7.6.1 seems to do bes

Hello all, I'm new to this list. I would like to know what the most useable and/or highest OS is you would suggest for a PB 5300cs. (I've actually run OS 9.1 on this thing from an external HD, which surprised me tremendously.) Figuring others have some experience with these units (it's n

You too? They made using the paper punch tapes seem easy. 1-4 oz tape in its box was equal to about 5-10 lbs of cards and so easy (for the time)! Line the tape up in the reader and push the start button compared to aligning a pile of cards and hoping they fed straight. David Allen > > >
