Click here to see the profile of this user 		Classic Software help - 2006/06/20 23:40 i have an iMac G3 with OSX, and every time I try to load an older program it tells me I don't have valid system software requirements for the Classic Environment. Does anyone know where I can find this, or what I can do about it? Thanks in advance.

Addendum: When I try to install OS 9.2.1, it won't do it because I don't have Classic. It's a vicious cycle! Any help would be great.

When installing OS X it is necessary to select the box marked install OS 9 drivers.

Find best results to use install CD, boot holding down C, go to Disk Utility, and select zero the drive, remembering to opt for OS 9 drivers to be installed.

Then if large enough (say 20G or larger, partition whilst in Disk Utility with say 5GB and 15 GB partitions, installing OS X on larger and OS 9.2.2 on smaller.

If the Imac has the standard HDD of about 9G, to 350 slot loader model, might well be too small to partition.
