There were a very few compatibility issues that have since been worked out. Things like ATM Deluxe needed an update. No big deal. OS 9 wasnt an update to 8.6 so you will end up doing a clean OS 9 install. Leave your apps and such where they are. Just install 9 then delete the 8.6 system folder.

That's right I am upgarding to OS9 from 8.6! A couple of years back I remember the kerfuffle over OS9 and compatability problems ... is this anything to worry about. also, is it better to to a clean install when upgarding to 9?

Taking the plunge

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
