Re: Help - Anyone with OS 9.1 install disk for a G4 Digital Audio?
That could be the case - the firmware has been updated on this machine. I need 9.1 because I'm trying to get a pci-gpib card working in this machine, and 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 both give me heap errors/crash on stratup. The National Instruments website that has the drivers for this card say they support the card to 9.1, with no support after that (on Mac OS, they do have OSX drivers). I also have 10.4.11 running on this machine, and using those OSX drivers it doesn't have the heap error that 9.2.2 has, and the diagnostics program for the gpib says it finds the card on the pci bus, but it can't 'read' the card. This card works flwalessly in a Mac 9500, as well as windows 7, so it's not the card. Seems to be a problem with this card with this machine (digital audio G4). I might just go anotehr route and try a usb to gpib adapter - and stay away from the PCI bus with this machine.

Well, I own a G4 DA, and I might have the disk you're looking for. :-) The disk set I have, contains four CDs: two grey (Software Install + Software Restore), plus iMovie 2 and Apple Hardware Test. Here are the codes on the discs: - Software Install: SSW version 9.1 - CD version 1.4 - T691-3013-A - Software Restore: SSW version 9.1 - CD version 1.4 - T691-3014-A Honestly I never used them, since I bought the G4 used, and I transferred my previous HD into the G4. The discs seem loading fine. Please notice this disks are the Italian version. It shouldn't make a real difference in OSX (since you can choose the language the system is using), but it could be in OS9. Let me know if I can help you.

-- Original message -- Subject: Help - Anyone with OS 9.1 install disk for a G4 Digital Audio? Date:Saturday, 12. March 2011 From:jsmanson jsman...@shaw.ca To: G-Group g3-5-list@googlegroups.com If there is anyone out there with an install disk, OS 9.1, specifically for the G4 Digital Audio, I'd like to hear from you. The generic retail version does not work for this machine, it needs a special version of finder (9.1.1), and I suspect other bits as well. We can't seem to be able to build a custom version from a generic retail version, so that's why we're asking. Thanks! Doesn't a restore 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 version work? Have you tried that yet? Or do you need to go for 9.1 for a specific reason? I suppose then you'll need the original restore discs… My experience is limited: I recently had to get the original restore discs for my G3 BW for 8.5.1 to work correctly, because retail 8.5 won't work on a Yosemite. And there doesn't seem to be a retail 8.6 around. I also successfully installed a restore 9.0.4 on a G4 AGP, and a restore 9.2.1 on an original QS from 2001.
