Actually, three: The 15" 700 Mhz, 15" 800 Mhz and the 17" 800Mhz all boot into OS9 and shipped that way for about a year after introduction at MWE in January of '02 . However, the 800 Mhz models shipped after February 4, 2003 and all iMacs thereafter did indeed lock out that ability. ~C ------------------------------------------------------------ Just out of curiosity, is there a hardware reason for this, or is it forced obsolescence through a lack of drivers on the OS 9 disk, code in the firmware, or something else? -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
