This is a question best suited for one of the LEM lists. I think that you should be able to run 9.2 (9.1.3) and I believe that if your hard drive is large enough, maybe you could partition it and install multiple OS's on it (just in case). I have 2 OS 9.2's and one version of 10.1.5 and 10.2.3 installed in my G4 1000Mhz Dual Processor. I bounce back and forth quite a lot between the OS's and keep them segregated for certain tasks. I won't get into that here, but just about anything is possible where our Macs are concerned. KOG -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
