Perhaps possible, but why? Unless you plan to write new OS 9 hardware drivers for a myriad of new hardware, for example: FW800, PCI-X, PCIe, 802.11g/n, newer PCcard slots, newer video cards, RAM (new Macs have too much RAM for OS 9 to handle, and remember, in OS 9 you have to manually allocate more RAM to each individual program), etc., etc.; it would be easier to obtain a supported OS 9 Mac somewhere for cheap or free. Remember, all this newer hardware IS supported for OS 9 under Classic emulation. If you need OS 9, use Classic, or get a Mac that can boot OS 9. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
