I recently bit the bullet and installed OSX 10.3 Panther on my Power Mac G4 so I could connect to my new digital camera.
I didn't spend the time I should have getting my ducks in a row as far as setting up a Classic version of OS 9 went so I'm now seeking the group's help.
I was running OS 9.0 on the computer and before the upgrade I purchased an Update CD for 9.2.1 not realizing that I had to have a full install version to get Classic on board.
I then bought a full install version of OS 9.1 but get the following message when I try to run install after booting up to the CD, "This version of Mac OS 9.1 may not be installed over the currently installed system software." I also notice that the installer, in the window where it gives me that message, says the "system software currently installed" is 10.0
I also noticed, which I hadn't when looking at the disk on eBay, that it says "iMac Software Install" on it.
I have to get a workable Classic version installed to access old files and applications. Can someone please tell me definitively what software and version I need?
Thanks.
