Hello. I have a G4 MDD 1.25 with FW400 and I have been looking for a
long time for the original OS 9 CD that came with this computer. I
have tried many different OS 9 versions but for this G4, it has to
have the exact CD's that came with it to make it boot. Any help is
greatly appreciated if you have this exact model. thanks

A retail OS 9 CD will not boot my MDD. Had to have one
specifically for the MDD.
I believe Retail OS 9 CD has OS 9.1 on it ... for the MDD, Mactracker
says it boots with 9.2.2.
The MDD came out after 9.2.2 so it needs a slightly modified version of
9.2.2 that includes drivers, patches or whatever to support the MDD.
This is quite common that the OS disk that ships with a machine is a
modified version of the, then, current shipping OS. But since there
were no versions of 9 after 9.2.2, only the version that shipped with
the MDD has what is needed.
