Re: OS 9 boot CD
Oh G-Group, Oh G-Group! I think this has been a very informative discussion. We don't need to get snappy over Mac OS 9, do we? I love Mac OS 9! Using it tonight! Can't wait to try out the new Classilla version! I'll try it out this week! -Mike On Mar 1, 1:03 am, Fabian Fang f...@mac.com wrote: On Feb 28, 2010, at 8:35 PM, Bill Connelly wrote: Is the OS 9 discussion group up and running some where?

OS 9 boot CD
Hello. I have a G4 MDD 1.25 with FW400 and I have been looking for a long time for the original OS 9 CD that came with this computer. I have tried many different OS 9 versions but for this G4, it has to have the exact CD's that came with it to make it boot. Any help is greatly appreciated if you have this exact model. thanks __ Sig: Specs: G4 MDD 1.25 [FW400,running 10.4 Tiger Pittsburgh, PA 15237 alternate e-mail: rhfr...@gmail.com ebay name: ray78 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: OS 9 boot CD
I think Apple themselves will work with you on this and let you buy a copy, if you call them @ 1-800-MY-Apple. You will need to give them the MDD's serial #. Also, I thought some people on these threads mentioned that the eMac Mac OS 9.2.2 install worked for the MDD. Though if you install it you may need to boot disabling extensions the first time to disable a couple for proper setup of Mac OS 9 native booting as some Classic support extensions conflict with booting Mac OS 9 properly(?)

The MDD came out after 9.2.2 so it needs a slightly modified version of 9.2.2 that includes drivers, patches or whatever to support the MDD. This is quite common that the OS disk that ships with a machine is a modified version of the, then, current shipping OS. But since there were no versions of 9 after 9.2.2, only the version that shipped with the MDD has what is needed. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
