Hello Clark, I dare say that won't work to actuallly boot the MDD, but it will work with Classic just fine (of this I'm sure). Reading through this link: http://macintoshgarden.org/forum/mac-os-922-install-g4-mdd I found out that you'll need MacOS ROM version 9.6.1 to be able to boot an MDD

Not sure about this discussion about OS9 not booting on an MDD. I have a dual 1.25GHz G4 MDD that I upgraded to dual 1.42GHz G4 CPU module board and before the upgrade to the faster G4 CPU module, I had placed an old 6gb hard drive from one of my G3 iMac's (Tangerine I believe), as I was

Once you get OS 9.2.2 on a bootable disk, there are five issues to contend with on the MDD. #1: The machine appears to accept your OS9 installation as bootable, but won't boot. As others have reported, you need Mac ROM 9.5.1 or later, AKA Mac OS CPU Software in your System Folder. #2: Sound

guess I'm gonna have to use one of the Quicksilvesr as an OS9 machine - I was hoping to install the image processing (for RAW files) software that came with my Minolta DiMAGE - a 12 year old camera that is in no way obsolete (IMHO!) and is as superb as something that originally cost £1200

I've just been playing with my dual 1.GHz MDD, currently with 512 memory (until I find my stock pile!). I want to set this up with a drive booting OS9 natively, and also to be able to use Classic in OSX Tiger. I partitioned an 80GB drive as 60/20, with a view to installing OS9 on one and Tiger
