Re: Dual Boot MDD ??? (was:Apple Still Sells OS 9 Bootable G4s ( was: Can OS 9

From: Hal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

As far as I know the Powerbooks before the AlBooks (pismo, lombard 
andTiBook, not 12-inch or 17-inch) will boot 9, G3-based iBooks will, also 
non-FW800 Powermacs should.
I will have to dig out all my OS 9 CDs and try...
Larry
P.S. I've just realized that I posted the question to the wrong list  :-o
I doubt the MDD is regarded a portable. Mine with 4 harddisks and all
weighs a tonne!!!

I have heard of someone successfully getting a G4 iBook to book 9.2.2 
as well, but haven't been able to try it myself.

Hope that helps.

You can possibly use the early LCD iMac install CD. It works on the
single CPU 1Ghz for me. This box wasn't supposed to be able to boot up
into OS 9.
Anyone have definite list of machines that aren't supposed to be able 
to
boot into OS 9? Apples changes have made me confused which ones aren't.

I believe it can boot OS 9, but you have to install OS 9 from the original
Restore CD that came with the computer. I don't believe you can install OS 9
from an OS 9 install CD. That's a shame they lost the CD.

Dual Boot MDD ??? (was:Apple Still Sells OS 9 Bootable G4s ( was: Can OS 9

[Larry le Mac]

Seeing the discussion about dual boot G4s...
I have an MDD G4 2x1GHz (FW 400 only) which I bought
second hand without the original install CDs (where does
everyone's CD disappear to ? I have never got original CDs
with any second hand Mac), sorry I digress...
Can this Mac boot into OS 9 ?
