WTB: Mac OS 9 CDs

[drunkmac]

I want OS 9 on a CD please. The last version made if possible (I believe 9.2.2???). Not looking to cough up more than $20 (and that includes shipping)....I dunno. Maybe more...I doubt it. Let me know if anyone can hook me up. Thanks.

Anyone have 9.2.2 CDs yet? Im still looking for them!

To be used as themselves, or with OS X?

 

[drunkmac]

Either. I just want to be able to boot into OS 9 rather than have "Classic"

You can't boot into OS 9 with a 12" Powerbook... if that is the machine you are going to boot it on.
But if you want an OS 9 CD anyway... look at http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/index.html

No, definitely don't look here;

I thought you could boot into OS 9 with the version included on the Software Restore CDs. At least, I used to be able to before I removed the OS 9 Disk Drivers.
However, UNIX is right, you can't boot into OS 9 with the new Powerbooks (of which yours is one)
Anyone: am I being stupid on this?

 

[drunkmac]

can you explain why i cant install OS 9 on my powerbook? Thanks.

Some kind of firmware update in the newer books and macs doesn't allow this anymore. Don'T ask me why, but Steve wanted this to happen.
Anyway, I could bet there are still some hacks for this..
