Kevin - you saying you are trying to install OS 9. Are you trying
to install
OS 9 to boot into 9 or to run in Classic mode? At some point a
couple years
back Apple dropped OS 9 as a bootable OS and since then we've only
been able
to run it from within OS X. For this purpose the old OS 9 drivers
aren't
needed.

The machine's serial # reported (according to http://www.chipmunk.nl/
klantenservice/applemodel.html ) it says that it was built in March
of 2003. As far as I can tell it " is " a dual boot system. The brain
fart occurs if you don't have the restore DVD. I have a set of 3
restore disks (+ iMovie 2 (2 disks)), and a restore software "CD" ,
one will boot and tell me I can't use it with this computer and the
other refuses to boot. It gets so far and then tells me to start up
with extensions off and reports an "error 11". The laptop has 1 Gb
of memory (maxed out) and a DVD Superdrive 1x. I might be interested
in beefing up the superdrive, but must cure this non-OS 9 issue
first. I liked the answer given earlier about trying an original 9.2
disk and going from there. What I've read from Apple doesn't lean
toward this as a solution, however, I tend to trust the experience of
people that actually have/use the same hardware as I do.
TIA
