I very much need a native OS9 boot machine.
Why won't Classic suffice?
Is the workaround on a FW800 G4 (mine's a dual) limited to the Tiger
OS?
The MDD FW800 supports Leopard 10.5.8.
Was there an additional procedure to this?
I'm highly skeptical of these reports of booting OS 9 on FW800 or G5.
This ability to boot will be set in firmware I believe. The ONLY
plausible report I read was the possibility that Apple gave alternate
firmware to developers that had the ability to boot OS 9; or that
someone hacked the firmware to support OS 9 (you'd also need a FW800
hack). I don't believe any of the threads cited, where's the YouTube
video? We once had a guy fake a video showing Snow Leopard purportedly
booting on a G5. People say crazy things, and some people just lie, or
are honestly mistaken. It's likely the "friend's" MDD wasn't a FW800
model, but rather just a FW400 model.
