#PPro 601 & Sys 7.1.2 ?
2 messages in this thread
I've just purchased a power pro 601 board to use in my Quadra 800. Haven't
installed it yet, but I notice in the user manual (pg.54) it says to that
system 7.1.2 is contained in the power pro software and should be used to
update earlier versions so as to take advantage of power pc capabilities.
On the box it says 7.5 is required.
Can it run using just 7.1.2, or is this outdated?
Also, is 7.5 prone to crashes (compared to 7.1)?
Any advice here appreciated.

System 7.1.2 was Apple's interim System release that supported PowerPC until
7.5 was ready. DayStar included it with initial PowerPro shipments because this
system was (and is) difficult to find. DayStar changed its requirements to
System 7.5 when it was released by Apple. System 7.5 and Update 1.0 are
recommended for the PowerPro 601 over System 7.1.2.
