I've never really used OS 9 since I switched in 2001 back when 10.1 was just released. My first Mac was a G4 867 tower and it booted into OS 9 but I wanted to see what OS X was all about to I restarted it and never went back. All of the software that I've purchased has been for OS X. My desktop is a 20 inch G5 iMac....I think I told you and I only use OS X on it....never run classic and don't have classic installed on either. When I bought the iBook, I knew that 256 wasn't enough, so I bought an additional 512....it was a bit of a challenge installing it as you need a 'tiny' screwdriver to do it....had to go out and buy one. But once I got it, it was easy. Yes, I knew that there was an OS 9 (classic) install on the other disk. My other OS 9 installation disks are for G4's and say so on the disk. So, I don't think you could use them to install on anything else. Since switching from PC, I have become a true Mac Addict!
