I'm looking for some help or advice on how to update my Mac Clone to system 9.
I have a Power Computing Power Tower Pro 200 MHz, 604e Processor hard drive: 4 MB ROM 208 MB RAM about 6GB hard drive 1.4 MB floppy drive 8x CD-ROM drive, 1200 kb transfer rate IMS TwinTurbo-128M8 128-bit graphics accelerator 8 MB VRAM on graphics card The machine itself actually runs pretty good. The main problem is that it's becoming useless because I can't get any current software without updating the OS. Which means I can't use files from other Macs and general processes are cumbersome. I've been running OS 8.0 for ages because whenever I've tried to update in the past I continually got errors stating my machine could not be updated because it was not Apple native/not compatible. I've tried a million work-arounds, but I've never been able to work past OS 8. I know that I'll need to replace it with a G5, etc. but I'd like to have my current PTP get me through another year. I'd like to know: Is this possible? How can I upgrade my OS on an non-Apple native machine? (system 9 would be fine if OS X is not feasible.) will my CD-ROM drive work when I update? (it currently can't read newer CD formats). I'd appreciate any advice or info you may have.
