Re: Tiger and os9 was Tiger breaks hypercard

[jeff reynolds fios]

I had some confusion as to what folks were talking about with loading a 
os9 and os 10.4 on the same partition. I missed that the thread i 
responded to might have been with just problems with running os9 under 
tiger to run hc running 9to5 reports. I thought it was just problems 
running classic from the  part of the thread i read and responded to. 
Are you concerned with os9 compatibility in general or just with hc and 
9to5 reports. My old hc app does not use 9to5 reports, but lots of qt 
and specialty graphics calls as well as reads and writes files to the 
hard drive.


 I have only used the 10.3 and 10.4 with os9 on the same partition to 
run the os9 in classic mode, since the computers it they are loaded on 
are only machines that can run osx.


I am just in the process today of suping up an old mac to donate and 
loading 10.3 and 922 on it. it can run 9 so i will see if it can flip 
between them fine. this was the standard feature of osx and 9 on older 
machines that still had 9 bootablity in their roms. i know i had no 
problem switching between running 10.1 with 9 on the same partition on 
my old titanium as well as running the 9 as classic under 10.1 (but it 
was the crude days of classic).


sorry if there was confusion on this. i just got spooked when i saw the 
thread since i had just run off 1000 cds of a decade old multimedia 
cdrom that uses an app i developed in hc and was worried there would be 
a problem with tiger (figured murphy and all). amazing that a decade 
old app still works! trying to make the vb pc version work takes some 
guts in installing a v2 of quicktime over your nice new quicktime you 
need for xp or 2000 just to get one dll installed! not for the faint 
hearted...


yell if you have more questions and i can try and clear the air more 
then send a clarification to the list.

Jeff,

Thanks for this update. Good to know.

Is it possible to run OS 9 and OS X simultaneously as with 10.2 (? & 
10.3)?

Re: Tiger breaks hyperCard?

Hmm, i just got my new powerbook this week with tiger installed, but 
not classic (i think apple has been doing this for at least a year now 
since i have had folks say they didnt have classic and i would just 
have them load it from their system discs). the powerbook tiger system 
discs came with the classic 922 installer on it. i ran it and it 
installed a nice new os922 system folder that works great with tiger. 
tested my old hypercard standalone app and it worked swimmingly. the 
powerbook hard drive was not partitioned and the 922 system folder is 
sitting there right next to the osx system folder.


am i missing something here?

That's just what we've been doing: copying over an old system folder.
Seems to work just fine; every classic app I've tried (admittedly, 
haven't

launched HC since installing Tiger) has worked well.

I can't say what the general case might be, but I *can* report that I
merely copied an old System Folder from a Classic install on OS X
10.3 to my Tiger drive after installation and it seems to work fine.
I don't use it often and I surely don't push it around much, but it
hasn't crashed, broken, complained or otherwise caused a fuss.

Hi Todd and Jim,

To be more precise, I was told that you can't install an OS 9.2.2
system folder on any partition where Tiger (or any OS X system) is
already installed.
It does not work: OS 9 must be installed first or installed on
another disk or partition...
At the very worst you have to backup, erase your Tiger disk, make
an OS 9  clean install (just copying an existing system folder is
risky :-) and a Tiger clean install on top :-(
Then when you see the hard disk prices at the moment, it might be a
better solution to buy an external firewire one...

This is true.  New machines do not ship with the Classic System
Folder.  But If you have an existing Macintosh you can just copy
the System Folder over.

I had heard, from a distance source, that a new Mac with Tiger
installed will not necessarily include classic. Anybody know
whether this is true?
