wtb: OS 9.2 - 2007/09/18 20:37Hi, I'm looking for an original OS 9 install CD. I recently upgraded from a 7300 to a G4 Quicksilver running OS X 10.4. It doesn't have an OS 9 folder to run Classic and from what I've been told I need an Apple install disc to install OS 9. If anyone has one, I'd be very interested. Thanks, Herman

Re:wtb: OS 9.2 - 2007/09/19 06:19I don't have one but you do need to install the old OS to get classic running in OS X.
Make sure you get a retail install CD or one that was original to a G4. The iMac and eMac installers do not always work on all machines and are common.

Re:wtb: OS 9.2 -update - 2007/09/25 20:21An update on my OS 9 issues. I did find an original Apple OS 9.2.1 install disc but at first it did not work any better than the copy of OS 9.1 my local Apple dealer gave me some time ago. With the help of Everymac member Ron Krell I finally managed to get Classic working.
My problem was the original OS 9 folder I planted on the hard drive which came from a system backup I had made. I couldn't delete it until Ron suggested booting with the Apple disc and then trashing it. That worked fine and after some more guidance from Ron I did a clean install of 9.2.1 and bingo!, I have Classic to go with my Tiger.
For the information of anyone who has similar problems
