I have several power mac 7600 series with G3 upgrade cards, I run OS8.6 on all of them with no problems. I have installed PCI USB cards in similar computers, using the Cellquest USB dongles with no problems. I had OS8.6 on my Vantage G3 and it worked fine, I now have a G4 with OS9 or is it 9.04 on the Vantage which also works fine. You might need the newest BD Inits v3.4 to run anything over OS8.6 . Ask your rep for this if you don't have it or perhaps someone could send it to you.

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.
