We tried to up grade and wanted USB also. I installed system 8.6 from a disk that came w/ my home PowerMac and we had to have the BD tech come out and reinstall everything. As of a few months ago, we were told the same thing about up grading with the BD software.

It is using system 8.1. We wanted to upgrade the system to a more modern version (Sys 8.6 or 9.2) in order to improve performance and take advantage of USB. We had planned to install a USB PCI card to do this. Interestingly, BD has claimed they do not support anything higher than OS 8.1 on this configuration!? 1. Has anyone else upgraded the OS on a similar system and does it work? 2. Must Cellquest/Vantage use only OS 8.1? 3. Has anyone put a USB card in such a computer and does it work with Cellquest/Vantage? We want to use it to drive a printer. Thanks in advance for any input or advice.
