LOL, it isn't really that clear. As per instruction "3. Have a copy of the Mac
OS 9.2.1 Updater.smi , and Mac OS 9.2.2 Updater.smi files downloaded. If you
put them on your desktop, OS9H will automatically recognize them, otherwise you
will be prompted to locate them. There are links to download these files from
within OS9H..."
I downloaded the the above on another machine and burned them to CD so that I
wouldn't have to connect to the internet everytime I wanted to upgrade to 9.2.2
on an 'unsupported' machine. As per my mailing those files were copied to the
7220/G3 desktop (and then the CD was removed).
I have been thinking deeper about this (and it's given me a headache). I have
an OS9.2.1 Install CD. Do I need to make a copy of the 9,2,1 install cd and
mount it on the desktop so that OS9Helper can write to it?
