OS9.x on G4 imacs?
I read somewhere that certain models of G4 imacs can boot into os9 as well as X. But does this also mean they can use OS 9 without installing X?

Re: Bondi Blue Imac Upgrades
Ugrade the ram, went from 64 to 512 with some old 256mb dimms. Then you'll probably have to update the firmware then you can add OSX if you want. I did it with a ruby red slot loader and no Mac experience at all.

Re: OS9.x on G4 imacs?
Hi. Remember Leopard has no Classic support. However if your Mac still supports booting into OS9 and has higher enough requirements to support Leopard you can dual boot between to the two. I do on my PowerBook G4. Simon On 28 Jul 2009, at 10:47, Mike Linnett wrote: Yep, that should work! Any powermac G4 apart from the fw800 ones will boot os9 (either just the classic, or dual boot with X), not sure of the situation with 'books or anything tho, someone else will probably chime in though On 28 Jul 2009, at 10:42, williamd willi...@wyoming.com wrote: I read somewhere that certain models of G4 imacs can boot into os9 as well as X.

OS 9 software
After putting OS X on my iMac G3 summer 2001 500Mhz I realized that I liked how it ran under OS 9 for my son since some of his games take forever to launch in classic under OS X. Does anyone know where (other than Ebay) I can get some software that runs under 9? I have Adobe Pagemaker, and I have photoshop 3.0 - me being a nerd would kind of like to put the original productivity apps on the thing to make it even more useful :) Also, anyone on this list have any suggestions for good kid's games - preschool/kindergarten stuff like Reader Rabbit (no more RR though, we have a bunch of those). I've even tried to dumb-down movies so that he could watch streaming videos. That hasn't worked out so well because of the video card's limitations. It does have a DVD drive and has been wonderful as a cheap DVD player, since it cost $20 and a DVD/TV combo is at least $100. It's just such a cute little blue glob of Mac-ness that I can't get rid of it but I don't want it to just sit around either.

Re: Bondi Blue Imac Upgrades
Well, remember the Bondi has a lower RAM limit, probably 256, but you might check on your model number to see if it's a Rev.A or Rev. B. But yes, you'll want to update the firmware, otherwise you'll totally destroy it trying to install OSX. We accidentally did this to a Blueberry slot-loader. You can get the firmware update from the Mactracker app. (Or you can get it from Apple I think) -Elliott On Jul 27, 2009, at 6:38 PM, Mike Audia wrote: Ugrade the ram, went from 64 to 512 with some old 256mb dimms.

Re: Bondi Blue Imac Upgrades
So How do I get the firmware number and then update it? Cyrus, you successfully dual booted this machine? 10.4.11 ran ok for you?
