I believe that near the end of the OS 9 life cycle Apple dropped the
special programmed disks. They just provided the generic OS Disk with
the specific Computer model printed on the label. That is why these will
work for us. It does not hold true for earlier versions, even OS 9.04,
8.6, 8.1 etc-these were specifically written for each machine, and a
generic was sold seperately for upgrades. The retailer selling the disks
will know whether it is generic in function. Paul C.

I installed OS 9 on two S900s using an official iBook install CD FWIW.
