I installed 9.2.1 in my beige G3 tower last week and my two USB HP printers hooked to a hub in the base of my monitor that's connected to a 2-port USB card (took a breath) seem to work fine.

Thats interesting snuffysbluff, never did try it on a tower. Could be that or maybe different OS versions - talking with one of our tech guys it may have been 9.2 straight that we had problems with - 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 are better.

[Is that true?]

I can't back it up with any references but we've seen it on a number of machines - all G3 Beige desktops.  Take them up to 9.2 -> USB card stops working, take them down to 9.1 -> USB card works again.

Fairly conclusive, enough for us never to put 9.2 on a Beige again anyway.  Admitedly we've never tried it on a tower, and I can't say we tested every model of the beige desktop (probably either 233 or 266 MHz versions).

Moral of the story as far as we're concerned is keep 9.2 for working with OSX and use 9.1 if you just want a 9 enviroment.  As Steve_J said, there aren't really any benefits of it apart from   the OSX related ones.

Thanks for the welcome kelly    

Iain, if it works for you I wouldn't worry...  

Just a general thing we've found (I work for a refurbished Mac specialist so these kind of issues come up frequently) is that 9.2 seems to cause more problems on older machines.

You wouldn't belive how long that Beige issue took to work out over the phone...

I'd stick to 9.1 if I were you, 9.2 seems a little more buggy.

This is especially true if your using an older machine - a G3 beige for example loses its ability to do USB card support under 9.2

Only reason I'd go to 9.2 is if your planning to go to X or are on a network with other X machines (and even then I'd hesitate).

Hi guys

Noticed some hits from here in our logs and thought I'd drop in and say hello.

Not very much to add really, apart from that we do unfortunately have to charge VAT on everything – if you take it out of the country you can claim the VAT back, although this can take a while.

Any questions or comments welcome.

Regards
