I have been trying to install OS 9.2.2 in my G4 Titanium Powerbook running
Tiger 10.4.11 for almost a yr and I'm not having any luck either... The 9.2.2
disc I have came with my OS 10.1 I used in my Clamshell 366, it wont even take
the disc??? So I downloaded that OS 9.2.2 thing from the Apple website and that
won't take either??? The only reason I'm even trying to do this is for my
scanner and Photoshop 6.0 it needs to run on OS 9, either booted from the
Startup disk or running under classic mode nothing is working and I am lost???
I'm just going to do this on my clamshell when ever I need to scan something
and then I could down load it to my iPod and transfer it to my G4 Powerbook
instead... I've been following this thread and having no luck with it at all...
I really do not think it can be done unless I can get the orginal 9.2.2 disc
that was made for this computer if there ever was one??? CoolKat
