I can mount an even older Mac running 8.5, but the not-quite-so older one running 9.2.2 cannot maintain a connection - it mounts and then "unexpectedly" loses its connection. 8.5 and 9.2.2 still chat happily to eachother.

But then I remembered that when I was trying to connect via ethernet from an old beige G3 to a 1.2 Ghz iMac after installing the Combo on the latter, I couldn't see the new iMac on the system. I was doing other things at the time so forgot about it. Now I better check it again (at work.)

As far as I can see, the 10.3.5 improvements don't cover anything in my set-up. My teeth are white. Nikki >>>Has anyone any issues to report with 10.3.5??

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > What do both of u use the older machines for? OK, after a long day & night I finally got my systems back how I want them. BUT I had to rebuild the OSX machine from scratch (I stopped at 10.3.3) and also the old machine that was running 9.2.2 is now at 9.1. The ancient 7300 running 8.5 survived the ordeal. To answer witt's question, I prefer to keep an old machine to run os9 in its true form, rather than the classic emulation (my G4 is too new to boot from true os9). I still have old software I am happy with, so why should I pay good money for nothing. The oldest machine runs an old A3 serial printer and has been demoted to the kitchen table, linked up by a long ethernet cable. But I find I still use it, and toy with Linux (though without distinction). But I appreciate it's no-thrills appearance, especially as Apple is so narcissictic these days. I hope that answers the question. It has been a worrying couple of days, and I am relieved to still have my machines working. But shakey still. BE WARNED. Jeanne.

Hi witt Yes I've watched Jeanne's posts, and we do seem to have similar setups. However I'm content (without schadenfreud) to have avoided sharing that mishap. I'll have a go with the combo update, once I've done a scrupulous backup! Meanwhile I've had a slanging match in another group for being unpatriotic about Panther! Hey Ho! Bonjour Jeanne. Nous aimons tour les deux les macs classique. Mais essayez celui-ci: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate_10_3_5_.html et bonne chance - or good luck if I'm mistaken. Udachi!

Be good... > > Meanwhile I've had a slanging match in another group > > for being unpatriotic about Panther! Hey Ho! > > Thats all that Russian anti-capitalist blood running thru your veins... > > Be good... Hi witt Sure, my blood is still RED even if the rest of the world has turned blue. And I'll do my best to be good - just gotta get that BLACK CAT to behave itself. I'm applying the combo patch tonight. Stand by for screams and cursing ...
