I don't believe there's such as thing as a 9.2.2 universal install
CD. The final "retail" OS 9 disc was the OS 9.1 disc that's white
with the orange/yellow "9" on it. This disc installs OS 9.1 and is
the only "universal" disc I'm aware of. It requires both a 9.2.1 and
a 9.2.2 update to reach the final OS 9.2.2 installation.
Kris, you have made similar assertions on numerous occasions over this
group. With all due respect, I still cannot agree with you. In my
rather large current collection of Mac OS Universal-Install (Retail)
DVD/CD/floppy sets, there are several original OS 9.2.1CDs, that are
"white with the orange/yellow '9' on it" (Apple Number 691-3334-A).
In fact, HardCoreMac.com sells such CDs for $160:
<http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/macos921cd.html>
Such Universal-Install OS 9.2.1 CDs also come up on eBay relatively
frequently for much less.
At one time I had a similar Universal-Install OS 9.2.2 CD, also "white
with the orange/yellow '9' on it, that Dana referred to. Since I sold
it to a LEM Swap Group buyer, who claimed to be in desperate need for
it, a few years ago, I am no longer in a strong position to argue with
you about that.
