Re: installing 9.2
I used the following option to put 9.2 on my MDD which came to me with 10.4 installed - Install 9.2 on a separate drive, then set that drive up as a slave drive in the iMac. Of course, this presupposes that the that you can put two hard drives in an iMac, a supposition about which I have no idea.

If not, I don't believe OS 9 will function even in Classic mode. OS 9 Drivers installed is necessary to access the drive when booted from an OS 9 system. Classic accesses the drive through OS X so it is not affected. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

installing 9.2
Greetings, I teach at a small church run school and get acquired some g3 iMacs. The iMacs have OS 10.3.9 on them. I have software that only runs under 9.2 that the students use.

Go to google groups, and go to the imaclist, and search for 'Netboot' there are several threads. Here's the starting point: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243 You uncompress the package on your OS X mac, then use Pacifist to extract the 9.22 system folder, and designate that folder as the system folder to use as Classic. You'll need to log in using the username NBUser and the password netboot, and you can get rid of that, iirc, by removing theUsers and Groups extension from extensions folder in the OS 9 system folder. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
