So what you're saying is: if a Mac has FireWire 800, then it can't boot into OS-9. Only the models with FW 400 can. Interesting. Wonder why? Guess it doesn't matter, if that's the rule.

Thanks much,

Tom

Apple Needed to kill off OS 9. It was at the end of its rope. In order to move on into the next generation, a brand new OS needed to be written from scratch.



see these links for more information on which models can or can not boot to os9:

That should help answer your question.
