It seems pretty silly to me to pay for something you can obtain for free.

Why don't you bite the bullet and solve your hassles by buying a retail copy of 
OS 9.1.
$10 at most on ebay or on LEMSwap and you then always have it on hand for 
problem solving.

If it's asking for a password BEFORE booting the OS, this is a  
firmware password, not an OS password. To get rid of a firmware  
password you'd need to remove the battery and the PRAM battery.


As for the image not fitting, this is a problem with the floppy  
itself. When a floppy has bad blocks, they're "mapped out" on  
formatting and the available size is smaller than the maximum size.  
There are also two sizes of floppy (actually more, but for our  
purposes just two), the 800k and the 1.44MB, so you need to be certain  
you've got a 1.44MB floppy, and then use Disk Copy to make the floppy  
from the .img file.

This isn't a bootable disc image file, it's an OS X installer package.  
Very different things. This installs OS 9 from within a booted OS X  
environment. It doesn't create a bootable OS 9 installer CD, and AFAIK  
there are no OS 9 "live" CDs (a CD that boots into a working OS 9  
System, as opposed to the installer CD which is limited to certain  
utilities and installing OS 9).

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but you can legally download a
bootable disk image of Mac OS 9 for free here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243.

You can download the special Disk Tools 8.5 bootable floppy for the  
Wallstreet here:




Then delete the Preference for Multiple Users and you should be able  
to boot without any password prompt.
