I moved a hard drive from a 233MHz G3 iMac into one of the extra hdd
spots in my G4 MDD and was surprised that it booted MacOS9.2.2 on such
a different computer.
I don't understand your statement below when you write "drop in the
ROM and you're good to go." I can understand dragging the system
folder to a different drive, if the drive has been prepped to be a
boot device (don't know what TDM stands for), but can you explain what
you mean when you say "drop in the ROM"?
Thanks,
David

You only need the OS ROM to make OS9.2.2 boot on your PM G4 MDD. If
you have a working OS9.2.2 on any other machine just drag the system
and application folder to the drive via TDM or other method and the
drop in the ROM and you're good to go. No installation is nessesary.
I can help you off list if you want.
