Re: flash drive and OS 9.2.2
Drive Setup is the pre-OSX version of Disk Utility. Use it to erase and initialize your flash stick. d On Feb 21, 1:37 pm, michaelangelo wrote: > 10.4 recognizes the flash drive with no problem. 9.2.2 does not.

Backwards compatible means that the drive's interface is USB 2, but it will work just fine over the older USB 1. Reformat the flash drive with Disk Utility, on OS X. Then see if it will work on OS 9. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: flash drive and OS 9.2.2
It says right on the package OS 8 -- yes 8!) or higher. But what is USB 1 and backwards compatible? On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 3:38 PM, Trinette Rani Johnson wrote: > > The US B 1.0 could be the case.

Re: flash drive and OS 9.2.2
The US B 1.0 could be the case. Also are you sure PNY works with OS 9? Most newer thump drives only support OSX. They may say Mac OS,but that mostly means OS X.

flash drive and OS 9.2.2
I'm back with the same problem but with a different flash drive (I gave up and returned the other one). This one is a PNY 4 GB, which claims to be compatible with OS 8 and higher. I am trying to set up the flash drive so I can move files back and forth between: My iMac g3 Dalmation, which has OS 9.2.2, and My iMac g3 FlowerPower, which has OS 10.4 on it. 10.4 recognizes the flash drive with no problem. 9.2.2 does not. I have gotten advice here in the past to reformat the flash drive on the 9.2 machine using Disk Utility. I don't seem to have that program on my hard drive or on the (original) 9.1 disks that came with the Dalmation. I only have utility programs called Drive Setup and Disk First Aid and neither of these will recognize the flash drive. On the PNY site they do say: Compatible with most PC/MAC laptop and desktop computers with available USB 2.0 port (Backwards compatible to USB 1.0) Is it possible my old Dalmation is USB 1.o and that is the problem, and if so what does Backwards Compatible mean, and what do I do about it? Last, if there is a utility program for 9.2 called Disk Utility (the utility does exist on my OS10.4 machine) where do I find it on my original installation disks and is it available as a free download from Apple? I looked there but didn't see it. Thanks so much. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
