Re: Upgrade Help Required
I figured out how to keep Classic on my G4 iMac (flat panel iLamp style) AND still run 10.5 (Leopard). Unfortunately, not at the same time. I partitioned my HD and installed Tiger on the new partition. Then when I need Classic, I just restart in Tiger. It was the only way I could run the one Classic app I need without having to keep my old G3 iMac up and running and still use Leopard for everything else. Wouldn't Sheep Shaver work for you in this situation? I thought it was developed because Apple dropped support for Classic, and somebody still needed a Classic app running on Leopard. -- -Proudly Sent from a Windows PC -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Actually SheepShaver was developed so that someone running BeOS or Linux on PPC could run Mac apps, and it predates OS X (Sheepshaver was released in 1998) The other issue with SheepShaver is that it's limited to 9.0.4 as the highest Mac OS it can run, unfortunately this means you have to drum up an OS 9.0 CD, as the freely available NetBoot image is 9.2.2.

Re: Upgrade Help Required
Thanks, Kasey, but my G4 tower has been unplugged, moved up an Ikea shelf and supplanted by my 'new' G5 which is awaiting a dvi-to-adc connector (ordered today from the apple store.ca) for my apple 17 flat panel cinema adc display. I'm not going to fool around with the damaged g4 anytime soon... i'm hard at work building a 40+ page web site on my pb, and once the connector arrives i'll dive into configuring that, or at least try to run the display from the pb, which has a dvi connector Kasey Smith wrote: Flip the side down and look at the top of the hard drive, and was it makeing the clunk, ca-clunk, ca-clunk noise?
