I think he means natively BOOT OS 9. There are a couple of machines, and correct me if I am wrong on this. But the newest machine that will BOOT OS 9 would be the MDD based G4 powermac with standard Airport. The Airport Extreme model will not booth OS 9 and even on the one with the standard Airport card, it requires the model specific OS 9. Same goes for the eMac, some of which will boot OS 9, but I know the 1.42 GHz model will not. The Quicksilver will install off just a standard retail OS 9 disk and is a good machine. This may be your sweet spot for OS 9. You can pick up a Quicksilver 2002 model for a decent price these days. If you have any questions, please let me know.
