My wife's G4 1.25 Ghz boots into OS 9 (and runs Classic). It is an interesting setup since, in this Mac's case, OS X has to be installed in order for 9 to work. I booted the Mac to an OS 9 CD and could not see the drive. This is normal for this Mac and will not affect what you want to do.

Probably a dumb question, but how does one know which of the faster G4
mini-tower Macs can boot into some form of OS 9. I want a G4 machine
that will handle Panther, but which will boot in OS 9 to get the most
use out of some earlier applications and SCSI external hardware. The
new 1.24MHz G4s that Apple is offering now says they will boot in OS 9
but some slower MHz G4s say that the aren't bootable in OS 9. I realize
that the G5s cannot boot in OS 9, and I don't believe they even accept
OS 9.2.2 in "classic mode". Any suggestions or experience in this area
appreciated?
