How to Install Classic OS 9 Support in OS 10.3 I have a iMAC G3 333 MHz, 6Gig HD, 192 RAM.
I asked earlier about install the latest firmware (version 1.2) on my iMAC machine with MAC OS 9. I could not get it to read the file and received an error. I tried several ways including uncompressing it on another MAC and then using a USB drive to transfer it but still no luck. After several hours I decided to go ahead and install MAC OS 10.3. MAC OS 9 didn't seem to be working right. I had the MAC 10.3 install format the drive and do a fresh install but I lost MAC OS 9. How can I install MAC OS 9 on the same partition as 10.3? Can I just copy a backup of my system folder and rename it something like system9? Once OS 9 is installed, how can I have the computer bootup in just OS 9 without X running? How can I tell in 10.3 exactly what version Firmware I have? I'm told 10.3 can work without the correct updated firmware but would have some problems with external drives, etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
