The minimum OS for "Classic" is OS 9.1. Normally, you'd use OS 9.2.2 for "Classic". You don't mention the model of Mac, but models that can't boot OS 9.x directly are "Classic only", meaning they run OS 9.x as emulation while booted under OS X. If you need to boot OS 9 you may need to reformat your HD IF you failed to add the OS 9 drivers when it was formatted. If your "Syst. 9" install disc isn't at least 9.1 it won't work as Classic. You can download a free version of 9.2.2 that's an OS X installer package here: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243#English> Remove the two "netboot" extensions from the System folder>Extensions folder before using. If you use your installer disc to install from, and it's not 9.2.2, you can download the update to 9.2.2 for free here: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1387> > Apple tells me that I can find Classic support on my > 10.5 intall disk. Where? No! 10.5 doesn't support Classic at all. There's nothing on the 10.4 disc regarding Classic. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
