X on a 9500? I'll beleive it when I see it! Joke aside, that 9500 of
yours must be accelerated. The Videocards is probably the trick. Had
one with Hardware acceleration (that came to me as "trickle down",
because it didn't work under X), which speeded up screen redraw a
lot. But the machine is still sloooow to surf (like drawing up an
Internet page). Thus under X it must be abysmally slow.... ;)
The 8500 is a pain in the neck to work with, mobo-wise. Lucky I had a
20-year old monitor-adjustment-tool (from my first computer), a long
plastic stick, suitable for reaching the otherwise unreachable
CUDA-button on the 9500 (and the 8600...).
The 8600 is quieter, has room for more RAM (I think...) plus it has
video & sound i/o. Thats why I want to revive it. Maybe I even can
get those ports to work under OSx with a processor upgrade...

My 8500 and 9500 run nicely under Panther (thanks to XPF 4 and an ATI=20
Radeon 7000 Mac Edition video card). I'm sure a real G3 would be much=20
better ... bus speedwise. The 50 MHz bus is a bottleneck ... but its=20
all I can afford to work with at present. If your 8600 doesn;t wake up,=20=
why not work on the 9500? You can move any upgrades to it from the=20
8600, I think.
