I own a Power Mac 7100/80 that has been upgraded with a Sonnet G3 266 MHz
Upgrade Card. I am presently running OS 9.1. Could I easily upgrade it to
OS 9.2? Thanks in advance for your help.

No. There is a hack to allow it, though... check versiontracker. -- Was that last sig line lame or what?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Will OS 9.2 work in a 7100?

Look for a piece of soft ware called MacTracker. It has all the current answers you'll need.

No. Some old Macs can be upgraded using os9helper from <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://os9forever.com," target="_blank">http://os9forever.com,</a> but yours is not one of the them.

No. The better question is, why would you want to? OS 9.2's improvements have more to do with compatibility with OS X than anything else; it's difficult to see what benefit you'd gain from 9.2 on a 7100. -- Biohazard? Radiation hazard?

Quite a bit if software was written for 9.2x, not for 9.1, so when the software gets upgraded, then 9.1 users are left behind.
