I can't use the current system, its going on to an iMac G4 that currently running OS 9.2.2 and 10.2.6. Its being backed up, partitioned into 3, 9.2.2, 10.2.6 and Japanese OS 10.1 going on. I have no choice in the matter, the customer is asking for this to be done this way. It is for an educational publisher, and they insist they need a real Japanese OSX (they have 3 unopened boxes). They are 99% PC, but just use a few Macs for compatibility testing of CD ROM software. They have had these copies of Japanese 10.1 since they were current, and won't obtain newer versions.
