Jim, If you put MacOS 9 on your SM300/160, you'd better be ready for a really sluggish computer (hense frustrating). I found a SM4000/200 (604e, 64megs RAM), that had MacOS 9.1 on it. I'm tryign to find a friend who'll give it a home now. IT IS painfully slow. I normally use a Powerbook G3/266/384 Ram (which was recently stolen), and the feeling is like going from a Corvette to a Ford Escort - maybe worse. Besides, Apple's been making Mac-specific Packaged system OS CD for years now; it's probably only installable on your particular G4, so it's useless to you (yes, MacOS 9). If I were you, I'd download MacOS 8.6 (All Pre-MacOS-X system SW now available for download on Apples website - free) and let well enough alone.
