Needless to say it crashed after a while and I lost all data I hadn't backed up (not that much but sad enough).įinally there's the issue of USB 2.0. Long ago when I was running 7.6 on a Performa 450 with 120 MB hard drive I stumbled across a software called "TimesTwo" that doubled your hard drive space using on-the-fly compression. Regarding software patches for large drive support I tend to agree with what's been said, I'd avoid it at all cost. Not like I quit using ancient apps under X either - while I still had an iBook G4 I frequently ran Classic with the same 80s/90s software I have on the G3 and up until 10.6 I used PPC software like Photoshop CS.

All the ones I had before were related to a buggy WiFi driver (d-Link USB dongle), unplugging the dongle occasionally caused a kernel panic.
I've been using X as my main OS since 2005 and haven't had a fatal crash since 2009 I think. So partly my ancient software might be the issue but I'd still love an improved OS that lets me kill crashed apps without a forced reboot that destroys any unsaved data in other apps. I've mainly had this happen with old games and with Claris Works 2 (originally designed for 6.0.7 and 7.0 I think). I do notice that if it crashes it's gone - Cmd-Option-Esc won't do anything. I occasionally use a beige G3 266 desktop running 9.2.2 with a bunch of software, partly dating back to the late 80s (mainly games). replacing hard drives etc.) and that's roughly where I stand now - knowing little about componwnt level electronics and the inner workings of the OS and programming but fairly confident messing with extensions etc., getting a classic OS to work just as I want. Soon after I progressed to messing around with hardware on a limited scale (e.g. I started playing around with Macs when I was around ten, mainly 6.0.x and 7.x system versions at that time.
Just to introduce myself briefly, I'd consider myself an advanced user.
