These "Classic" install discs are missing a lot of the extensions needed for directly booting OS 9.2.2 on certain models of Mac. I've noticed that in System Profiler they often say "9.1.7" or some other strange version # specific to "Classic" only installations. > I also had a universal-install (retail) OS 9.2.2 CD, which I > foolishly gave away a > few years ago to someone who claimed to need it desperately. I don't believe such a disc was ever made?(9.2.2 Universal Install). AFAIK the only 9.2.2 install CD was issued with the MDD PowerMac G4, and was specific to the MDD. All the other 9.2 install CD's I've ever seen are 9.2.1 which require updating to 9.2.2. > You can also download "NetBoot for Mac OS 9" from Apple and make your > own CD: > <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243#English> Yes, this is the cheapest and quickest way to visit the quickly receding past. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
