Hi, Maybe I can throw in something. I am running two S900's here. #1 machine is on Jaguar2.8, 2-80GB ATA HD's G3 500mhz. installed in Oct. 2003. Not a single problem of any kind. Machine #2 is still SCSI bound with 3-HD's 4 GB, 8 GB and 18 GB. I have been using a identical USB optical mouse with USB overdrive in both units. I have never had freezes on #1 in OSX but #2 is 9.1 and has freezes all the time and I believe the problem is the USB and 9.1 do not get along well. I have done 2 reinstalls of the OS and same problem. Since I am so happy with OS Jaguar I have order a new 60 GB ATA Seagate and will prepare to move this machine up to OSX as soon as all items are in hand. I have order more ram for both computers and will keep OS 9.1 on the 8 GB HD for any applications that I have that don't run on OSX. Which by the way are very few. I suggest you try working with an apple mouse or the Umax mouse and see if the problem goes away. That is what I did and it indicated that it is the USB that was the problem. Just my thoughts and results. Everyone else's results may be different. Richie B. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
