This my interpretation:
Deven said: System 7.1 is the best choice for any machine with a
68020 or lower, in my opinion.
I responded: Bullshit go read the FAQ. (That is always what you tell
people who are saying things that aren't (entirely) correct)
Deven responded: I'm not saying 8.1 will not RUN on the Performa 575,
I'm saying it's a bit heavy for the hard disk, and it'll run slowly.
That is why I RECOMMEND 7.1 or lower.
And that is where things go wrong. From this answer we can deduct that Deven:
- doesn't know the 575 hasn't got a 68020 or lower processor. (It has a 68040).
- doesn' know that you cannot run 8.1 on a 68020 or lower procesoor.
- doesn't know that you cannot get any lower than 7.1 on a 575.
- doesn't know the hard disk speed is not an issue, because that is
quite easily fixed (easier anyway than overclocking processors)
That is why I responded with:
Huh??? What has the 575 to do with 68020 or lower???
If 8.1 is a bit "heavy" for the original 575 hard disk, put in a
bigger and faster one. Of course 7.1 is always faster...
