Title: upgraded old Quadra 610 to OS8
Post by: mikeh420 on November 23, 2008, 03:26:05 am
I got a Quadra 610 that a friend was going to toss. Had to get a ADB keyboard, mouse and a AAUI Transciever, and it worked except for the Ethernet. Upgraded it from System 7.5.3 to OS 7.6.1 then found 8.0 and installed it. Now the Ethernet works, but using Netscape 3(!) gets dozens of Java errors. Going to try an old ver of MS IE just for kicks. Amazing how this old hardware still works. With a '040' @ 25MHz and 56 MB of RAM and a 130 MB SCSI drive, it's pretty quick!

Just the same experience.
I have an old Powermac 7200/90 with 128Mb and 40Gb hard drive and it still work with an old Os8.
I'm going to test it with Os 9.2
