I second going with System 7.1.x or just jump to 7.6.1 on the IIci  and most things can be added to 7.1 that came after it  however, Mac OS 8.1 will feel slower on a IIci

LOL @wove What's wrong with a Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung? Btw, it's all easy to top ... Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitänsmützenfeder ("the feather on the hat of a ship's captain going on the Danube river"). Oh I love how precise and flexible my mother tongue is! @Knezzen you don't do komposita (compounds) in Swedish, do you? Coming back to topic :-) ... I get the impression of 7.5 being crashy too on my PPC. There are some applications that will run fine and for hours on end with no problem like I had Wallops and MacLynx yesterday. I remember there were issues with lockup during file copying during that era, but I don't remember any more details. I'll try our old favorite 7.6.1 on it and report back. @cballero yes! But take not, it's not the IIci we're talking here but the 7500/100 I had picked up earlier this year.

That's so Latiny, how nice! I only took one year of it in school, so we never got that far into the language

@Bolkonskij - I prefer "Lohnsteuereinkommenserklärung" (W2) or "Einachsiger Dreiseitenkipper" (wheelbarrow) and even better "Raumübergreifendes Großgrün" (a tree). These are all legally binding definitions in the language of our tribal overlords, aka "Bürokraten@rsche". So, to all: Please beware that deviating from the same might get you misunderstood or rejected by our beloved bureaucracy. A fate worse than getting dumped by your girl friend.

I apologize for my tongue in cheek remark. I did think it was sort of funny, but I did not intend to move the topic so far off course. Apple seemed to get lost in moving on from System 7.1. Many new and useful features were introduced, but there was a big cost in stability. It would be interesting to see what they had to do to keep the changes and bring stability. Overall Apple managed to maintain that feature set and stability going forward. In my view System 7.5.x was Apple's last system last OS that had such a struggle.

wove, what you describe is *exactly* what I have been experiencing the past week or so when setting up my 7500. 7.5.x brought a lot of instability with it and lots of unexplainable errors (error #10, I curse you!). I've now installed 7.6.1 on the 7500/100 and it now runs muuuch more stable and nice. I was really open to use 7.5.5 on my PowerPC Mac but that experience brought me back to our old buddy 7.6.1. So case closed, I've got the 7500 back. It's recapped, it's running nicely now and is ready for the next decade or so :-) Btw, this post was posted directly from the 7500 (nick: "Diane")

The 7500 was a real work horse in the PPC line up. A 7500 is a very nice machine and solid working 7500 is a delight. Nice to hear and see that you are getting good use of the refurbished machine.
