When I try to update OS 9 to OS 9.1 on this PM 7100 it says that I need to startup off the OS 9.1 CD. Why is this? What the heck is so special about the PM 7100 that it has to have this? I don't have a 9.1 install CD. Is there a way using my OS 9 install CD to do a work around or am I just screwed.I like it slow |

WHY are you upgrading to OS 9.1? It runs very badly on everything I've tried it with...I loved OS 9.0 on my 7300 everything was fast, but 9.1 is worse IMHO... Official 68k videographer

Strange I've never heard that before. I always like to max out the OS install version before getting rid of my Macs. It just seems like the right thing to do. If I knew a way to install OSX on a Mac plus I would do it. Even if it took a week for it to start up.  I've never had a problem with 9.1 or 9.2.9.1 seems to run better I think. I like it slow |

Minix is a Unix implementation which will run on a 68000 Macintosh (or an 8088 PC). It has many similarities to OS X, such as the ability to run Unix applications and Macintosh applications simultaneously and a nice command line interface. Of course, I am embellishing slightly. II2II

To install 9.1 on a 6100/7100/8100 you need the cd. Don't ask me why, but apple states it plainly on their website. As a workaround you can burn 9.1 to a disk and then us that to boot. I suppose the best way would be to create a disk image, install 9 into that, then install 9.1 (and 9.2) onto that. Then burn the disk image to a cd. mathgeek 68K Macs Liberated: LC, Performa 636, Mac Classic II

hmm... When I get rid of my macs a clean install of os8 usually does the trick... I have the CD that came with the iMac 233 and that basically does it for any 68k or PowerPC...
a 7.5.3 CD and 7.0.1 disks are also part of my arsenel...Official 68k videographer

When I put 9.1 on my 7100 I hade to do that as well. I was also told that Apple said that 9.1 isnt supposed to run on Nubus macs. Which I found out was kinda bull, due to the fact I put the cd in and clicked install and it worked fine.68k Macintosh Liberation Army

I would like to tell everyone that if you have at least 64 megs of RAM, OS 9.0 runs like a dream on my 8100/80, and should on a 7100/80, which uses almost the exact same mobo as the 8100/80.
