The mac is a G4 Digital Audio, I have both 9.2.2 and OS-X 10.4.11. The scanner is an Optronics Colorgetter 3 plus, using a program called Colorright Pro 2.0.
I have no experience with this, but a quick web search seems to indicate the Optronics Colorgetter 3 plus using Colorright Pro 2.0 works under OS 9.1, but some people have said it quit working under 9.2.2. If you can boot directly into 9.2.2 and it works, then it works, hurray!
If you boot into 9.2.2 and it doesn't work, I'd hazard that you may need to downgrade back to OS 9.1, or figure out what changed between OS 9.1 and 9.2.2 that caused it to quit working. Sometimes you can substitute specific older extensions from 9.1 into 9.2.2 and get functionality from within 9.2.2 without a full-fledged downgrade to 9.1.
As far as Classic under OS X, Classic does support OS 9.1, so you can run a 9.1 Classic environment if necessary, BUT, as Dan has pointed out, Classic will only work IF there are OS X hardware drivers for your card. You seem to indicate there are OS X drivers, so you need to get the hardware working while booted under OS 9.x, and then setup a Classic system using the correct OS 9.x version. Then you should be able to use Classic IF the OS X drivers work correctly.
