Thanks, I will give that a try. I do not have the disks that came with my iBook so I have not been able to get anything else to work. I have tried zapping to PRAM four or five times in a row, going into open firmware and reseting from there and that did not help. I will give your idea a try and see what happens.

Thanks again,

Scott

I connected the iBook via Firewire target disk mode to my desktop and copied the OS 9.1 system folder over to the iBook hard drive. Then I updated the system on the iBook via Firewire to 9.2.1.
Works great! I do have my hard drive in 2 partitions though so I don't know how this would
work installing OS 9 onto the same partition that OSX resides on using this method.
I found info on the Apple site that OS 9.1 only installed on the Dual USB iBook if you used
the iBook install disks provided with the machine. The first OS 9 retail system to support this model was 9.2.1.
Oh, your probably wondering why I went through the extra step. My Audio software I use on my desktop does not seem to get along with OS 9.2.1.

Dean,

I am having the same problem with my iBook. Could you please explain what you did to get OS 9 on your iBook?

Thanks,

I've been trying to install OS 9.1 on my new to me dual USB iBook and I keep getting a
Buss Error when I start up from the 9.1 CD. This is the full install disk, not
system specific.
Is there a version of 9.1 that will install on the iBook?


Thanks
