It also won't boot on FW800 or later PowerMacs, however, if you look real carefully at the Apple Store you can still find PowerMac G4 MDD machines that boot into both OS9 and OS10. > will allow OS 9-based >apps. to run under OS X.

Because you're not loading "Classic" the emulator, you're loading OS 9 the Operating System. "Classic" is an OS 10 application that allows OS9 to run under OS 10 in an emulation mode. >Yup, they gave you OS 9.1 because it used to be bundled with OS X (and I >had thought still was, but the reports are that Jaguar doesn't come with >it). 10.2 comes with 9.22 cYa Hib Halverson ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
