I took the plunge and installed 9.2.2 every thing seems to work fine, but I haven't tested everything yet.
A quick question for edward. I have the international english OS9.2.2. Will patching the resource (from you link) work for my version of the operating system?

I've installed 9.2.2 on my 2400c. It seems to work well. Networking may be a
bit faster, but I didn't run 9.1 long enough to be sure. The main reason I
did it was to install the latest version of Airport, but I ended up having
to use the Tomeviewer method anyway, so I think it could install under
anything.
The process is kind of involved. The patch for the 9.2.1 updater is broken,
since Apple changed the disk image somehow. If you're going straight to
9.2.2, you need to do one of three things to get an intermediate
installation of 9.2.1 on the target drive:
1. Install the drive in a supported machine and run the updater.
2. If your HD is small (<8 or 4GB, I can't remember) you could use SCSI disk
mode to accomplish the same thing from a supported machine.
3. Fool the installer into thinking you have a supported machine by changing
the mach ID to a supported machine with Gestlab or a similar programmer's
tool.
Needless to say, don't boot the 2400 from the intermediate installation of
9.2.1. You should probably be using a separate partition, but I managed to
update my only one without a second machine by booting from CD.
Once you've upgraded to 9.2.2 (with the patched updater), you'll need
ResEdit to copy and paste resources into (a copy of) your system file, from
the files in this archive:
ftp://ftp.gps.caltech.edu/pub/kby/Old%20World%209.2.x/ 9.2.2%20Patch%20Archiv
e.sit
You'll also need to install the sound extension from that archive and
disable the one that the updater installed. Don't install anything from the
Non-OF folder. The data fork patch doesn't appear to work. There's a free
support forum here:

&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&part=2
You may be better off waiting for the next update of the Helper app, which
promises 2400c support, but so far I've had no problems. The inability to
install the data fork patch is worrying however.
