I built my parents a G3 made out of a Yosemite motherboard hacked into an
ATX case. It will be replacing their G3 7300. They need all of their
current software, so I plan on installing the harddrives from the
7300 into the ATX
G3. However, the Blue G3s onward required a ROM in the system folder. Im
wondering if there is a ROM somewhere in my OS X system folder on my Sawtooth,
and if that could be used with OS 9 on the Blue G3.
You will definitely need to replace the System folder on the moved
hard drive. The classic OS (pre X) was custom installed for each
computer type. The system for the 7300 will be different than the
Yosemite due to the different hardware on the motherboards. Best
suggestion would be to have a retail OS 9 CD, move the HD, boot from
the CD and do a clean OS install, then move the remains using
something like Clean Install Assistant.
