If I may ask, why ?
As in "Why not just run OS9.1 ?"
I have a NewerTech G3 card in a 9600 (OS8.6 and OS9.1) and I have the Sonnet G4 800 MHz card in my main PCI Mac and I have OS9.1 and Panther on it.
What is the purpose of the releases between OS9.1 and OSX ?

Officially, they were all about improving support for Classic in OS X. Otherwise there were useful things such as updated ATI drivers and OpenGL. Also I had a hard time getting my Yamaha CDRW recognized across different apps until I took some extensions from 9.2.1. It was tricky getting the right mix.
Anyway, one day I compared the version numbers of the stuff in 9.2.1 to 9.1 and there weren't that many differences. At least not as far as OS 9 was concerned. Since I was already using so much from 9.2.1, I used OS 9 Helper to install the rest.
Later, I came across some OS 9 software that required 9.2.2 so I installed it. By then then there was no reason not to.
