Don't you wish installers told you accurately what they were about to do? ;^)
If these are G5 install disks, it must be Classic as no G5 will boot OS9. Your
logic is sound, but it's still scary, right? 99.9% chance you will do no harm
and you will have Classic at the other end of the operation
Just looked at my G5 system disks, there are 2, both are gray. The 2nd disk is
marked "Includes Mac OS 9.2". Hope that helps.

If Dave sounds like he's trying to sell you on the OS it's because he's a
believer. Trust me, there's NO money to be made on the Amiga side of things.
Just folks who think we were cheated out of a good OS years ago. So as an owner

FWIW: I know of at least 3 ex-Amigans on this list, including me. I DO want

Also Quicktime Pro for Tiger PPC, not sure about later OSes. $30. Check the
Apple site to see if it's still available. You can get there from Quicktime.

Does anyone know if it's time to get worried about security? It almost sounds

Power supplies are a bitch requiring removing almost everything. My 2.3 dual
core went abruptly with a flash and a stench. However, you may be having
problems with coolant leaking onto your electronics, which is worse. Check this

Fine machine otherwise!
